CAUTIONARY STATEMENT IDENTIFYING IMPORTANT FACTORS

THAT COULD CAUSE THE COMPANYS ACTUAL RESULTS TO
DIFFER

FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 (this Form 10-K) to the Company or us,
we or our are to American Media Operations, Inc. and its subsidiaries. In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, readers of this Form 10-K are advised
that this Form 10-K contains both statements of historical facts and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) projections of revenues, income or loss, capital expenditures, capital structure and other financial items,
(ii) statements regarding our plans and objectives, including planned introductions of new publications or other products, or estimates or predictions of actions by customers, advertisers, suppliers, competitors or regulatory authorities,
(iii) statements of future economic performance, (iv) outcomes of contingencies such as legal or any regulatory proceedings, and (v) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about our business.

This Form 10-K identifies important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements,
particularly those set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors. The factors that could affect our actual results include the following:



| |  |  | our high degree of leverage and significant debt service obligations
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased competition, including price competition and competition from other publications and forms of media, such as television and radio programs and Internet
sites concentrating on celebrity news
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in demand for our services and products by our customers and advertisers
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in general economic and business conditions, both nationally and internationally, which can influence the readership level of our publications as well as
advertising and circulation revenue
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to attract and retain experienced and qualified personnel
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to obtain sufficient financing to continue to sustain or expand our operations
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse results in litigation matters or any regulatory proceedings
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any downgrade in the rating of our securities
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to comply with covenant requirements in our agreements with our lenders and in our indentures
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to realize expected benefits from cost savings and revenue enhancement initiatives
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us are subject to these factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described in this Form 10-K as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. The
risk factors included in this Form 10-K are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could
also harm our future results. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

The
forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K are made only as of the date of this Form 10-K. We do not intend, and do not assume any obligations, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

PART I



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

We were incorporated under the laws
of Delaware in February 1981 and are a wholly owned subsidiary of American Media, Inc. (Media, or, together with its subsidiaries, AMI). We conduct all of Medias operations and represent substantially all of
Medias assets. Our headquarters and principal executive offices are located at 1000 American Media Way, Boca Raton, FL 33464 and our telephone number is (561) 997-7733.

All references to a particular fiscal year up to and including our fiscal year 2004 are to the four fiscal quarters ended the last Monday in March of the fiscal year specified. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2005 and thereafter, we changed our fiscal year end to a calendar (March 31) year end from a publishing calendar year end. This resulted in three additional days of operating expenses in our fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2005.
The three additional days decreased operating income and net income by approximately $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The three additional days did not have an effect on operating revenue.

We are a leading publisher in the field of celebrity journalism and health & fitness magazines. Our publications includeStar, Shape, Mens Fitness, Fit
Pregnancy, Natural Health, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Flex, National Enquirer, Globe, Country Weekly, Mira!, Sun, National Examiner,and other publications.

Our magazines comprise approximately 22% of total U.S. and Canadian circulation for audited (by the Audit Bureau of Circulations or ABC) weekly publications.
Total average newsstand and subscription circulation per issue for all of our publications that are currently published and have a frequency of six or more times per year is approximately 8.0 million copies for fiscal year 2007.

In fiscal year 2007, we derived approximately 57% of our revenues from circulation, predominantly single copy sales in retail outlets, and subscription sales, and the
remainder from advertising and other sources. Our publications are distributed primarily by four wholesalers, which we estimate represent 85% of the newsstand distribution market, as well as several smaller wholesalers who represent the remaining
15%. Wholesalers distribute the copies to approximately 105,000 retail outlets in the United States and Canada, representing, in the opinion of management, substantially complete coverage of periodical outlets in these countries. The wholesalers
also process returns of our publications, bill and collect from the retailers, and make payments to our national distributors. We distribute our publications to the wholesalers with a full right of return, who in turn sell them to retailers with a
full right of return. Our national distributors bill and collect funds from wholesalers and remit these funds to us.

In addition to our relationships with
our national distributors and wholesalers, we also have relationships with retailers through the following:



| |  |  | Rack Costs  We pay a fee to sell our publications in the display racks in the checkout section of supermarkets and other large retailers, typically for three
year periods.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Display Continuity Allowances (DCA)  DCA is a payment that we make directly to the retailer and is similar to slotting fees paid by other
industries to supermarkets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Retail Display Allowance (RDA)  We make this payment directly to the retailers based upon quarterly claim forms that they submit to us. In
general, RDA payments are equal to 10% of the cover price for each magazine sold.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Retail Display Pockets (RDP)  We pay this fixed per pocket fee directly to retailers. This fee is similar to RDA, except that the amount is fixed
per pocket. We pay either RDA or RDP to a particular retailer, but not both.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subscription revenues are derived from copies mailed to our
subscribers. We outsource our subscription fulfillment services to a third party. Advertising revenues are derived from customer advertisements placed in our publications.

Distribution Services, Inc. (DSI), our wholly owned subsidiary, arranges for the placement of our publications and third-party publications with retailers and monitors through its merchandising staff that
these publications are properly displayed in stores, primarily large supermarkets and major retail chains such as Wal-Mart and Target. DSI coordinates (also known as acting as a category captain) the racking of magazine fixtures for
selected retailers. In addition, DSI provides sales of marketing, merchandising and information gathering services for third parties including non-magazine clients.

Corporate History

On
May 7, 1999, all of the common stock of Media was purchased by EMP Group L.L.C. (the LLC), a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to a merger of Media and EMP Acquisition Corp. (EMP), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the LLC. Upon consummation of this transaction, EMP was merged with and into Media (the Merger) resulting in a change in ownership control of both Media and the Company. As a result of this change in control, as of May 7, 1999, we
reflected a new basis of accounting that included the elimination of historical amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the revaluation of certain of our tangible and intangible assets at fair value.

On May 7, 1999, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior subordinated notes due 2009. These notes are unsecured and subordinated in
right of payment to all our existing and future senior indebtedness. These notes rank equally with all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. These notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of our domestic
subsidiaries.

On November 1, 1999, we acquired all of the common stock of Globe Communications Corp. and certain of the publishing assets and
liabilities of Globe International, Inc. (collectively, the Globe Properties and the Globe Acquisition). The Globe Properties consist of several newspaper style magazines, including Globe, National Examinerand Sunas well as other titles including Mini Mags.

On February 14, 2002, we issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior
subordinated notes due 2009 through a private placement. The gross proceeds from the offering were used to make a distribution to the LLC, to prepay term loans under our credit facility, and pay transaction costs. These notes are unsecured and
subordinated in right of payment to all our existing and future senior indebtedness. These notes rank equally with all our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. These notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of our
domestic subsidiaries. These notes, together with the senior subordinated notes issued in May 1999, constitute a single series of debt securities.

On
January 23, 2003, we acquired Weider Publications LLC, a newly formed company to which the magazine business of Weider Publications, Inc. and Weider Interactive Networks, Inc. (collectively, Weider or the Weider
Properties) had been contributed by Weider Health and Fitness, Weider Health and Fitness, LLC and Weider Interactive Networks, Inc. (collectively, the Sellers). Weider is the leading worldwide publisher of health and fitness
magazines, with a total estimated monthly readership of 25 million in the United States, more than any other publisher in the health and fitness category. Weider currently publishes seven magazines, including Muscle & Fitness,
Muscle & Fitness Hers, Shape, Mens Fitness, Flex, Fit Pregnancy,andNatural Health, with an aggregate average monthly circulation of approximately 3.9 million copies. In connection with the acquisition of the Weider
Properties, we borrowed $140.0 million in a term loan and issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior subordinated notes due 2011, and the LLC issued $50.0 million of new equity (of which approximately $8.8 million was an
equity contribution from the Sellers). These notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all our existing and future senior indebtedness. These notes rank equally with all our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness.
These notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of our domestic subsidiaries.

On April 17, 2003, we completed a series of
transactions whereby principals and affiliates of Evercore Partners LLP (Evercore) and Thomas H. Lee Partners (T.H. Lee), David J. Pecker, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and other members of the Companys
management and certain other investors contributed approximately $434.6 million in cash and existing ownership interests of the LLC, our ultimate parent, valued at approximately $73.3 million, to a merger vehicle which was merged with and into the
LLC in exchange for newly issued ownership interests of the LLC. These transactions are referred to collectively as the Recapitalization in this Form 10-K. Please see Item 12, Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management and Related Stockholder Matters, for a summary of our ownership structure and Note 17, Capital Stock, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 herein.

this Form 10-K concerning publishing industry data, circulation information, rankings, readership information (e.g., multiple readers per copy) and other industry and market information, including our general expectations concerning the publishing

Segment Information

We have aggregated our business into five reporting segments: Celebrity Publications, Newspaper
Publications, Womens Health and Fitness Publications, Distribution Services and Corporate/Other. The aggregation of our business is based upon our publications having the following similarities: economic characteristics including gross
margins, types of products and services, types of production processes, type or class of customer, and method of distribution, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. For a discussion of certain financial information relating to these reporting segments, see Note 14, Business Segment Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 herein.

CELEBRITY PUBLICATIONS SEGMENT

Our Celebrity Publications segment aggregates the following titles, which have leading market positions in the categories they serve.



| |  |  | Star is a weekly celebrity news-based glossy magazine dedicated to covering the stars of movies, television and music. Starseditorial content
also incorporates fashion, beauty and accessories. Starsells on average 730,000 single copies per week and has a total average weekly circulation of approximately 1.6 million copies, including subscriptions, and an estimated total
weekly readership of 11.4 million.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Country Weeklyis an entertainment magazine presenting every aspect of country music celebrities and their lifestyles, events and personalities, and has the
highest bi-weekly circulation of any such magazine in its category. Country Weeklyis a bi-weekly publication and has an average single copy circulation of 122,000 copies, with a total average bi-weekly circulation of approximately 439,000
copies, including subscriptions, and an estimated total bi-weekly readership of 3.4 million.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On June 14, 2006, we announced that we
were implementing a strategy to refocus our business and devote our full resources to growing our core brands. As part of this strategy, we announced that we will explore the sale of our five market-leading special interest titles, including one
title in our Celebrity Publications segment: Country Weekly. This publication represented total revenues and operating loss of $14.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2007. Operating loss includes a provision for
impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of $12.3 million. As a result of the restatement of the Companys financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2005 and
September 30, 2005 (the Restatement) and until the Company becomes current with its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the implementation of this strategy has been delayed.

subscriptions is to obtain the most cost-efficient subscriptions in meeting our circulation rate base. To accomplish this strategy, we focus on magazine specific sales of our titles through inserts, direct mailings, in-house advertisements and third
party agents.

Advertising Revenue

Our
advertising revenue is generated by national advertisers, including sports nutrition products, automotive, entertainment, packaged goods, pharmaceutical, sports apparel, beauty and cosmetics, fashion, and direct response.

Competition

Each of our Celebrity Publications faces
competition in its subject area from a variety of publishers and competes for readers on the basis of the quality of its targeted editorial content. Competition for advertising revenues is largely based upon circulation levels, readership,
demographics, price and advertising results. As part of our re-launch of Star as a 96 page glossy magazine in fiscal year 2005, we moved the displays of Star in most retail outlets to be next to People magazine and away from our
newspaper publications. We believe that our most significant direct competitors in the celebrity print media are Time Warner Inc. (which publishes People, In Styleand Entertainment Weekly), Wenner Media, Inc. (which publishes
US Weekly), Bauer Publishing (which publishes In-Touchand Life & Style), and Northern & Shell North America Ltd. (which publishes OK!). Competition for Country Weekly is primarily from two
national cable networks, CMT (Country Music Television) and Great American Country, along with their respective web sites.

Competition

National Enquirer, Globe,andNational
Examinercompete in varying degrees with other publications sold at retailers checkout counters, as well as forms of media concentrating on celebrity news, such as internet sites, certain newspapers, magazines and television and radio
programs. We believe that historical declines in single copy circulation of National Enquirer, Globe,andNational Examiner have resulted in part from increased competition from these publications and other forms of media. Competition
for circulation is largely based upon the content of the publication, its placement in retail outlets and its price. Competition for advertising revenues is largely based upon circulation levels, readership, demographics, price and advertising
results.

titles through inserts, direct mailings, in-house advertisements and third party agents.

##### Table of Contents

Competition

Each of our Womens Health and Fitness Publications faces competition in its subject area from a variety of publishers and competes for readers on the basis of the quality of its targeted editorial content. Competition for advertising
revenues is largely based upon circulation levels, readership, demographics, price and advertising results. We believe that our Womens Health and Fitness Publications most significant direct competitors include Conde Nast Publications,
Inc. (which publishes Self), Meredith Corporation (which publishes Fitness, Parentsand Child), and Rodale Inc. (which publishes Womens Health).

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES SEGMENT

DSI arranges for the
placement of our publications and third-party publications with retailers, coordinates (also known as acting as a category captain) the racking of magazine fixtures for selected retailers and monitors through its merchandising staff that
our magazines and third-party magazines are properly displayed in stores, primarily large supermarkets and major retail chains such as Wal-Mart and Target. DSI does not physically distribute our publications. All deliveries of our publications are
made through third-party wholesalers. DSIs merchandising services relate to various services performed by DSI to ensure that our third-party wholesalers properly deliver our publications and third-party publications to the correct rack
locations at each retailer. DSIs sales and marketing services relate to various promotional activities performed by DSI to increase our publications and third-party publications newsstand sales at retail locations.

In addition to the services DSI provides for our publications, DSI acts as a category captain for approximately 47% (based on our estimates) of all new
front-end racking programs. This represents approximately 53% (based on our estimates) of all the racks placed annually in the United States and Canada by supermarkets and other retailers. Recently, DSI has begun to leverage its network of field
representatives, which are regularly in retail outlets performing its services, by expanding its services to provide merchandising, resetting of rack programs and other information gathering services to consumer product companies outside the
publishing industry. We have expanded the distribution of our magazine titles since the acquisition of the Weider Properties utilizing DSIs retail relationships.

Approximately every three years, supermarkets and other retailers typically redesign their front-end racks, generally as part of store renovations or new store openings. As a category captain, DSI is
selected by retailers to coordinate the selection and positioning of magazines on the retailers racks. Publishers, including the Company, which are allocated space on a rack, enter into contracts directly with the retailer for the payment of
fees (rack costs) or other charges with respect to that space. DSI uses its role as category captain of new front-end rack programs initiated annually by retailers in the United States to achieve better placement of our publications and
of the publications of DSIs third-party publishing clients.

Some of DSIs third-party publishing clients include Hachette Filipacchi, which
publishes Womans Dayand Elle;Newsweek, Inc., which publishes Newsweek; Bauer Publishing, which publishes First for Women, Womans World, Life & StyleandIn-Touch; Rodale, Inc., which
publishes Prevention, Mens Healthand Best Life; General Mills, which publishes Pillsburyand Betty Crocker;and New York Magazine Holdings, which publishes New York Magazine and specials. Some of DSIs
third-party non-publishing clients include Kroger, Safeway, Source Interlink and Frontline Marketing, Inc.

Competition

DSI competes with Time Warner Retail Services and Comag in providing marketing and distribution services.

CORPORATE/OTHER SEGMENT

Our Corporate/Other segment
aggregates Muscle & Fitness and several other publications, ancillary sales and corporate overhead.

While most of the publications
aggregated in the Corporate/Other segment have certain similar economic characteristics and also similar products and services, production process, type or class of customer, and method of distribution as some of the other publications which are
aggregated in the other reporting segments (Celebrity Publications, Newspaper Publications and Womens Health and Fitness Publications), their gross margins are dissimilar with such other publications. Accordingly, we aggregated those
publications in the Corporate/Other reporting segment.

Fitness Hers, Flexand Mira!. These publications represented total revenues and operating loss of $69.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2007. Operating loss includes a provision for impairment of intangible
assets and goodwill of $55.0 million. As a result of the Restatement and until the Company becomes current with its filings with the SEC, the implementation of this strategy has been delayed.

Subscription Sales

Our overall strategy with respect to
subscriptions is to obtain the most cost-efficient subscriptions in meeting our circulation rate base. To accomplish this strategy, we focus on magazine specific sales of our titles through inserts, direct mailings, in-house advertisements and third
party agents.

Advertising Revenue

Our
advertising revenue is generated by national advertisers, including sports nutrition products, automotive, entertainment, packaged goods, pharmaceutical, sports apparel, beauty and cosmetics, fashion, tobacco and direct response. Advertising revenue
is typically lowest in the third quarter of our fiscal year due to seasonality.

##### Table of Contents

Competition

Each of our Corporate/Other segment publications faces competition in its subject area from a variety of publishers and competes for readers on the basis of the quality of its targeted editorial content. Competition for advertising revenues
is largely based upon circulation levels, readership, demographics, price and advertising results. We believe that our Corporate/Other segment publications most significant direct competitors include Meredith Corporation (which publishes
Fitness, Parentsand Child), Rodale Inc. (which publishes Mens Healthand Womens Health), Wenner Media, Inc. (which publishes Mens Journal), Advanced Research Press (which publishes Muscular
Development) and Muscle Media Publishing (which publishes Muscle Media).

Mira!, Sun and Weekly World Newscompete in varying
degrees with other publications sold at retailers checkout counters, as well as forms of media concentrating on celebrity news, such as certain newspapers, magazines and television and radio programs. We believe that historical declines in
single copy circulation ofMira!, Sun and Weekly World News, have resulted in part from increased competition from these publications and other forms of media. Competition for circulation is largely based upon the content of the
publication, its placement in retail outlets and its price. Competition for advertising revenues is largely based upon circulation levels, readership, demographics, price and advertising results.

Ancillary Sales and Corporate Overhead

The Company has
ancillary sales (primarily licensing, syndication, new media and product merchandise sales). New media comprises web sites for Star (starmagazine.com), Muscle & Fitness (muscleandfitness.com), Flex (flexonline.com),
Mens Fitness (mensfitness.com), Shape (shape.com), Natural Health (naturalhealthmagazine.com), Fit Pregnancy (fitpregnancy.com), National Enquirer (nationalenquirer.com), Country Weekly
(countryweekly.com) and Weekly World News (weeklyworldnews.com). Additionally, we maintain an online fitness portal (fitnessonline.com) and also sell a paid subscription based interactive online weight loss & exercise program
(iShape.com). Content producers at each publications website coordinate with the editorial staff of the respective publication. Our corporate sales staff manages all online advertising sales and marketing. Our business development group
handles content syndication, online licensing and new media growth areas such as wireless.

Corporate overhead includes production and circulation
department costs, and support departments such as information technology, accounting, legal, and human resources and administration.

PRODUCTION,
TRANSPORTATION, AND DISTRIBUTION

Outside vendors perform the pre-press operations for both our consumer and newspaper publications and are responsible
for transmitting files electronically to our third party printing plants. We also outsource the printing, transportation, and distribution of all our publications.

We have a printing agreement expiring in our fiscal year 2016 with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RR Donnelly) to print National Enquirer, Globe, Shape, Mens Fitness, Fit Pregnancy, Muscle & Fitness,
Muscle & Fitness Hers, Flex, Natural Health, Looking Good Now, National Examiner, Weekly World News, Sun, Mira!andCountry Weekly. Additionally, we have printing agreements with Quad/Graphics, Inc. to print Star expiring
in our fiscal year 2015, and Trend Offset Printing, Inc. to print Star expiring in our fiscal year 2012.

We have a pre-press agreement expiring in
our fiscal year 2016 with RR Donnelley for Shape, Mens Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Fit Pregnancy, Muscle & Fitness, Flex, and Natural Health. All other titles are under a pre-press contract with Vertis, Inc.
(Vertis) expiring in our fiscal year 2012. See Note 10, Related Party Transactions, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 herein for a discussion of our pre-press contract with Vertis.

We believe our relationships with our pre-press and printing companies are adequate and that there are printing and pre-press facilities available
elsewhere, should the need arise.

Once printed, the newsstand copies are transported by unrelated third parties and distributed primarily by four
wholesalers. We estimate that these four wholesalers represent 85% of the newsstand distribution market, while the remaining 15% are represented by several smaller wholesalers. In fiscal year 2007, three wholesalers (Anderson News Company, The News
Group, L.P. and Chas. Levy Circulating Company) each accounted for operating revenue greater than 10% of our total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for approximately 37% of our total operating revenue. Wholesalers deliver the copies
to approximately 105,000 retail sales locations. Subscription copies are distributed primarily by the United States Postal Service.

##### Table of Contents

Paper is the principal raw material utilized by our publications. We purchase the paper directly from several suppliers
based upon pricing and, to a lesser extent, availability, then deliver the paper to our third party printing companies. Paper is a commodity product with pricing affected by demand, capacity and economic conditions. We believe that adequate sources
of supply are available to fulfill our current as well as future requirements. Our operating income could be significantly affected by the price of paper used in our publications.

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

At March 31, 2007, we employed approximately 1,322 persons equivalent to full-time employees
(each, an FTE), of which 83 FTEs are in our Celebrity Publications segment, 70 FTEs are in our Newspaper Publications segment, 77 FTEs are in our Womens Health and Fitness Publications segment, 730 FTEs are in our Distribution
Services segment and 362 FTEs are in our Corporate/Other segment. None of our employees are represented by any union or other labor organization. We have had no strikes or work stoppages during the last five years. We believe that our relations with
our employees are good.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Our business faces many
risks. We have described below the material risks that we face. There may be additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we do not currently perceive to be material that may also impact our business. Each of the risks and uncertainties
described below could lead to events or circumstances that have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and business prospects, which in turn could negatively affect the value of the Company.

GENERAL ECONOMIC TRENDS, AS WELL AS TRENDS IN ADVERTISING SPENDING AND COMPETITION, MAY REDUCE OUR ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION REVENUES.

Our advertising and circulation revenues are subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global market conditions (i.e., increases in gas prices
and interest rates) and possible shifting of advertising spending amongst media. Extraordinary weather conditions, such as hurricanes (i.e., Hurricane Katrina in fiscal year 2006), can impact newsstand sales, advertising revenues and other revenues
like distribution. Any adverse impact of economic conditions on the Company is difficult to predict but it may result in reductions in advertising and circulation revenue. Additionally, if geopolitical events negatively impact the economy, our
results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our circulation revenues are subject to the risks arising from our ability to institute price increases
for our print products and are affected by: competition from other publications and other forms of media available in the Companys various markets; changing consumer lifestyles resulting in decreasing amounts of free time; declining frequency
of regular magazine buying among young people; and increasing costs of circulation acquisition.

OUR SUBSTANTIAL DEBT COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE
AND EXPOSE US TO CERTAIN RISKS.

Our future performance could be affected by our substantial amount of debt. As of June 30, 2007, our total principal
amount of outstanding debt was approximately $1.1 billion, consisting of $510.0 million principal amount of debt under our credit facility and $550.0 million principal amount of two series of senior subordinated notes under our indentures. In
addition, subject to certain exceptions, the covenants in our credit facility restrict us from paying cash dividends, incurring additional debt, entering into certain mergers or consolidations, making capital expenditures and selling or otherwise
disposing of assets. See Note 6, Credit Agreement, and Note 7, Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 herein for a discussion of certain waivers we have
obtained.

Our high level of debt could have important consequences for the Company, including the following:



| |  |  | we may have difficulty refinancing our debt in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes and the terms of any such
refinancing, if available at all, may be less favorable to us than the terms of our existing debt;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the money generated by our operations for fiscal year 2007 was insufficient to fully pay interest on our debt under our credit facility and our senior subordinated
notes, requiring us to fund the difference from other working capital;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | some of our debt under our credit facility has a variable rate of interest, which exposes us to the risk of increased interest rates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may have a much higher level of debt than certain of our competitors, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our debt level makes us more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in our business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our debt level reduces our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions, including increased competition in the publishing industry; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our debt level limits our ability to pursue other business opportunities, borrow more money for operations or capital in the future and implement our business
strategy.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under our credit facility, we also must comply with certain specified financial ratios and tests. If we do not comply with
these or other covenants and restrictions contained in our credit facility, we could default under our credit facility. Our outstanding debt under our credit facility, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and
payable. Our ability to comply with such provisions may be affected by events beyond our control. Moreover, the instruments governing almost all of our debt contain cross-default provisions so that a default under any of our debt may result in a
default under our other debt. If a cross-default occurs, the maturity of almost all of our debt could be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. If that happens, we would not be able to satisfy our debt obligations, which would have a
substantial adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.

Obligations under our credit facility are secured by substantially all of our
assets and the assets of all of our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, our obligations under our credit facility are secured by a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of, or other equity interests in, substantially all of our existing
or subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries and a percentage of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, certain of our subsequently acquired or organized subsidiaries. If we or one of our restricted subsidiaries are
declared bankrupt or insolvent or if we default under our credit facility, the lenders could declare all of the funds borrowed thereunder, together with accrued interest, immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay such debt, the lenders
could foreclose on the pledged stock of our subsidiaries and on the assets in which they have been granted a security interest, even if an event of default exists under either series of our senior subordinated notes at such time.

OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CERTAIN REPORTING COVENANTS UNDER THE INSTRUMENTS GOVERNING OUR DEBT MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATION OF OUR DEBT.

Under our indentures, we are required to timely file our periodic reports with the SEC and provide them to the trustees and holders of our senior subordinated notes. On
May 15, 2007, we received consents from the holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of our senior subordinated notes that permitted us to amend our indentures to extend the date by which we are required to file certain of our
periodic reports with the SEC and provide them to the trustees and holders of our senior subordinated notes. As a result of these consents, we obtained an extension of the period in which we could file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 until October 1, 2007. Upon notice and in return for a cash payment to the holders of the senior subordinated notes, we can further extend the filing date for such quarterly report to October 31,
2007.

Under our credit facility, we are required to furnish the lenders with audited financial statements for each of our fiscal years within 90 days
after the end of that fiscal year and interim financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each of our fiscal years within 60 days after the end of that quarter. We have received waivers from the lenders under our credit
facility to extend the deadlines for delivery of our financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 to the earlier of (A) the date that is 30 days following delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2007 and (B) September 30, 2007. The lenders have also waived the cross-default provision triggered by the failure to file our periodic reports for such periods, unless a notice of default is delivered under our indentures
as a result of any such failure or the trustee or the requisite holders of our senior subordinated notes otherwise commence any proceeding with respect to the exercise of any material rights or remedies that may be exercised based upon any such
failure.

Accordingly, the failure to file or deliver any of these periodic reports would become a default under our indentures or our credit agreement
dated as of January 30, 2006, as amended (the 2006 Credit Agreement). This failure to file or deliver could result in a notice of default which would trigger a 30-day grace period at the end of which the lenders or trustees and
holders of our senior

subordinated notes would have the right to accelerate the maturity of our debt. If any such acceleration were to occur, we may be unable to meet our payment
obligations. We cannot assure you that under such circumstances we would be able to refinance our debt, whether through the capital markets or otherwise, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REALIZE EXPECTED BENEFITS FROM COST SAVINGS AND REVENUE ENHANCEMENT INITIATIVES.

We have implemented certain cost savings initiatives and revenue enhancement opportunities during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that are expected to result in $19.0 million to $20.0 million of cost savings and
$17.0 million to $18.0 million of revenue enhancements during fiscal year 2008. Cost savings include the rationalization of unprofitable subscriptions, production savings and headcount reductions. Revenue enhancements include cover price increases
on selected titles other than Star,advertising rate increases in our Newspaper, Womens Health and Fitness and Celebrity Publications other than Star and certain online initiatives that require minimal investment. As of
June 30, 2007, we believe that the above-mentioned cost savings initiatives and revenue enhancement opportunities are on track to be achieved during fiscal year 2008. We may not ultimately be able to realize some or all of these initiatives.

A DOWNGRADE IN THE RATINGS OF THE SECURITIES OF OUR COMPANY COULD RESULT IN INCREASED INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL EXPENSES RELATED TO FUTURE BORROWINGS
OF OUR COMPANY AND COULD RESTRICT OUR ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL CAPITAL OR TRADE CREDIT.

Standard and Poors Ratings Services and Moodys Investors
Service maintain credit ratings on us. At June 30, 2007, our short- and long-term debt was rated CCC- by Standard & Poors Rating Services and Caa2 by Moodys. Each of these ratings is currently below
investment grade. Any decision by these or other ratings agencies to downgrade such ratings in the future could result in increased interest and other financial expenses relating to our future borrowings and could restrict our ability to obtain
additional financing on satisfactory terms. In addition, any downgrade could restrict our access to, and negatively impact the terms of, trade credit extended by our suppliers of materials.

OUR NEWSPAPERS HAVE EXPERIENCED DECLINES IN SINGLE COPY CIRCULATION.

We
believe that the principal factors contributing to these declines in circulation include: (1) increased competition from other publications and forms of media, such as certain newspapers, television and radio programs and Internet sites
concentrating on celebrity news; (2) a general industry-wide decline in single copy circulation of individual publications due to an increasing number of publications in the industry; and (3) diminished service levels from wholesalers who
distribute our magazines to retailers and fill the pockets at checkout counters as a result of consolidation among wholesalers and their related efforts to cut expenses.

Historically, we have been able to offset some of the declines in single copy circulation, in part, through increases in cover prices. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase cover prices without
decreasing circulation, or be able to take other measures, such as increasing advertising revenue rates or pages, and decrease promotion expenses of our titles to offset such circulation declines, or that the single copy circulation declines
described above will be reversed. Continued declines in circulation could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial performance.

IF WE
FAIL TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

Our future financial performance and success are dependent in large part
upon our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy or be able to improve our operating results. In particular, we cannot assure you that we will
be able to increase circulation of our publications, obtain new sources of advertising revenues, generate additional revenues by building on the brand names of our publications, attract new clients for DSI or raise the cover prices of our
publications without causing a decline in circulation. Furthermore, any growth through acquisitions and investments will be dependent upon identifying suitable acquisition or investment candidates and successfully consummating such transactions and
integrating the acquired operations at reasonable costs. We may not successfully integrate any acquired businesses and may not achieve anticipated revenue and cost benefits.

Such acquisitions and investments may require additional funding which may be provided in the form of additional debt, equity financing or a combination thereof. We cannot assure you that any such additional financing
will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all or that we will be permitted under the terms of our credit facility (or any replacement thereof) or under the terms of our indentures to obtain such financing for such purpose.

Any failure to successfully implement our business strategy may adversely affect our ability to service our indebtedness,
including our ability to make principal and interest payments on the debt. We may, in addition, decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time.

TERRORIST ATTACKS AND OTHER ACTS OF VIOLENCE OR WAR MAY AFFECT THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AND OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Terrorist attacks may negatively affect our operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that there will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or U.S. businesses. These attacks or
armed conflicts may directly impact our physical facilities or those of our retailers and customers. These events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the U.S. and world financial markets and
economy. They could result in an economic recession in the United States or abroad. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues and costs.

OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF THE PRICE OF PAPER OR POSTAGE INCREASES.

Our operating income may be significantly affected by changes in the price of paper used in our publications, or changes in the cost of postage to mail our subscription publications. If paper or postage prices increase in the future and we
cannot pass these costs on to our customers, such increases may have a material adverse effect on us.

WE OPERATE IN A VERY COMPETITIVE BUSINESS
ENVIRONMENT.

Star, National Enquirer, Globe, National Examiner, Weekly World News, Sun, Mira!andCountry Weekly compete in varying degrees
with other publications sold at retailers checkout counters, as well as forms of media concentrating on celebrity news, such as certain newspapers, magazines and television and radio programs. We believe that historical declines in single copy
circulation of National Enquirer, Globe and National Examiner have resulted in part from increased competition from these publications and forms of media. Competition for circulation is largely based upon the content of the
publication, its placement in retail outlets and its price. Competition for advertising revenues is largely based upon circulation levels, readership, demographics, price and advertising results. Certain of our competitors have substantially larger
operating staffs, greater capital resources and greater revenues from their publications. In this respect, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with such entities. We believe that currently our most significant direct competitors in the print
media are Time Warner Inc. (which publishes People, In Style and Entertainment Weekly), Wenner Media, Inc. (which publishes US WeeklyandMens Journal), Rodale Inc. (which publishes Mens Health and
Womens Health), Bauer Publishing (which publishes In-Touch and Life & Style), Conde Nast Publications, Inc. (which publishes Self) and Northern & Shell North America Ltd. (which publishes
OK!). As use of the Internet and new on-line ventures focusing on celebrity news increase, we will face additional competition.

In addition we
compete with many other companies providing marketing and distribution services, such as full-service national distributors, wholesalers and publishers with their own marketing organizations. Certain of our competitors have substantially larger
operating staffs and greater capital resources. In this respect, we may be at a competitive disadvantage with such entities.

Increased competition may
result in less demand for our products and services which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

OUR PERFORMANCE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE LOSE OUR KEY PERSONNEL.

We believe that our success is largely dependent on the abilities and
experience of our senior management team. The loss of the services of one or more of these senior executives could adversely affect our ability to effectively manage our overall operations or successfully execute current or future business
strategies. We have entered into employment contracts with our senior management team, all of which contain non-compete provisions. While we believe that we could find replacements for these key personnel, the loss of their services could have a
significant adverse effect on our operations. In addition, the Restatement may affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

PENDING AND FUTURE LITIGATION OR REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.

Because the focus of some of our publications often involves celebrities or controversial subjects, the risk of defamation or invasion of privacy litigation exists. Our
experience indicates that the claims for damages made in such lawsuits are usually defensible and heavily inflated and, in any event, any reasonably foreseeable material liability or settlement would likely be covered by insurance. We have not
experienced any difficulty obtaining insurance coverage and do not expect to experience any material difficulty in the future. There are currently no claims pending that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our operations. We cannot
assure you that we will continue to be able to obtain insurance on terms acceptable to us or at all or that any pending or future litigation, if adversely determined, would not have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The SEC is conducting an informal inquiry in connection with the Restatement. We are cooperating fully with this inquiry. We cannot predict the outcome of
this inquiry, including whether the SEC will take any action against the Company. Likewise, the Company is unable to predict whether there will be private civil litigation as a result of the Restatement.

IF OUR GOODWILL OR OTHER IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS BECOME IMPAIRED, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO RECORD A SIGNIFICANT CHARGE TO EARNINGS.

As of March 31, 2007, the net book value of our goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets was approximately $787 million. Accounting rules require us to
record a charge against our earnings to the extent that any of these assets are impaired. Accordingly, impairment of our goodwill, tradenames, covenants not to compete, subscriber lists, advertising relationships, non-subscriber customer
relationships or the impairment of other intangible assets due to litigation, obsolescence, competitive factors or other reasons could result in a material charge against our earnings and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
During the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, various tradenames, goodwill and other identified intangibles were revalued and determined to be impaired. The impairment charges recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 were
$75.7 million relating to tradenames, $236.2 million relating to goodwill and $0.7 million relating to other identified intangibles.

OUR ABILITY TO
OPTIMIZE OUR PORTFOLIO OF PUBLICATIONS MAY BE LIMITED.

We continually evaluate the performance of our business. These evaluations may lead to the decision
to divest or otherwise discontinue certain products. In addition, we are continually seeking ways to expand and grow our businesses through acquisitions and internally developed products or programs, the implementation of which may affect our future
revenues, costs, profitability, and financial position. Other risks include difficulties in integrating acquired properties, diversion of management resources, unforeseen costs or liabilities, and debt incurred to finance these ventures.

FUTURE ACQUISITIONS, PARTNERSHIPS AND JOINT VENTURES MAY REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES AND/OR RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT UNANTICIPATED LOSSES, COSTS OR LIABILITIES.

In the future we may seek to grow the Company and its businesses by making acquisitions or entering into partnerships and joint ventures. Any future
acquisition, partnership or joint venture may require that we make a significant cash investment, issue stock or incur substantial debt. In addition, acquisitions, partnerships or investments may require significant managerial attention, which may
be diverted from our other operations. These capital, equity and managerial commitments may impair the operation of our businesses. Furthermore, any future acquisitions of businesses or facilities could entail a number of additional risks,
including:



| |  |  | problems with effective integration of operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability to maintain key pre-acquisition business relationships;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased operating costs;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | exposure to unanticipated liabilities; and

| |  |  | difficulties in realizing projected efficiencies, synergies and cost savings.

We have incurred indebtedness to finance past acquisitions. We may finance future acquisitions with additional
indebtedness, subject to limits in our credit agreement. As a result, we could face the financial risks associated with incurring additional indebtedness such as reducing our liquidity and access to financing markets and increasing the amount of
cash flow required to service such indebtedness.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable
financial reports, our operating results and reputation may be harmed. We identified that a material weakness in the design of internal controls over financial reporting existed at March 31, 2005 because we lacked a sufficient complement of
personnel with a level of financial reporting expertise commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters. Subsequently, we also identified a number of errors in our financial statements
which we restated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Based on further evaluations performed by management with assistance from the Companys consultants, and based on information obtained in
connection with the inquiry performed by the Companys audit committee in connection with the Restatement, management identified additional deficiencies related to the control environment, including deficiencies in the controls related to the
Companys monthly financial close and financial reporting processes and accounting systems, which are described in greater detail in Item 9A, Controls and Procedures. Management evaluated the impact of the deficiencies and has
concluded that each of these deficiencies represents a material weakness. We are in the process of adding additional personnel to our financial staff and taking other steps to enhance our financial close process and financial reporting system in an
effort to remediate these material weaknesses.

We cannot be certain that these measures, and any other steps we may take, will ensure that we implement
and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operations or results, or cause
us to not satisfy our reporting obligations, or materially and adversely impact our business, our financial condition and the market value of our securities.

WE MAY SUFFER CREDIT LOSSES THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers. We
recognize that extending credit and setting appropriate reserves for receivables is largely a subjective decision based on knowledge of the customer and the industry. Credit exposure also includes the amount of estimated unbilled sales. The level of
credit is influenced by the customers credit history with us and other available information, including industry-specific data.

We share an equal
amount of the credit risk for sales to our wholesalers under our agreement with our largest national distributor.

We maintain a reserve account for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to pay, additional allowances might be required.

OUR SINGLE COPY REVENUES CONSIST OF COPIES SOLD PRIMARILY TO FOUR WHOLESALERS.

Single copy revenues consist of copies distributed primarily by four wholesalers, which we estimate represent 85% of the newsstand distribution market, as well as several smaller wholesalers who represent the
remaining 15%. In fiscal year 2007, three wholesalers (Anderson News Company, The News Group, L.P. and Chas Levy Circulating Company) each accounted for greater than 10% of our total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for approximately
37% of our total operating revenue. We have service agreements with our wholesalers, which provide incentives to maintain certain levels of service. Three of these wholesaler service agreements require at least 120 days prior notice of
termination, with terms expiring on December 31, 2007. The fourth wholesaler service agreement requires at least 60 days prior notice of termination, with a term expiring on December 31, 2007.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT COSTS ARE INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY.

Health insurance
costs have increased significantly faster than inflation on an annual basis during the past few years. We also anticipate that in coming years, the cost of health care will continue to escalate, causing an increase to our expenses and employee
contributions.

|(2) | Beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 and thereafter, we changed our fiscal year end to a calendar (or March 31, 2005) year end from a publishing calendar
(or March 28, 2005) year end. This resulted in three additional days of operating expenses in our fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2005. The three additional days decreased operating income and net income by approximately $1.0 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. The three additional days did not have an effect on operating revenue.

of cash received related to the recognition of the deferred gain on the sale of Frontline Marketing Inc. and $1.3 million related to interest income. Other income for fiscal year 2006 includes cash received of $1.6 million related to the sale of
stock. We had provided advertising to a third party during fiscal year 2001, resulting in a receivable due from such third party, which we previously deemed to be worthless. In fiscal year 2003, we exchanged the receivable associated with that
advertising for stock in the third party, which we sold in fiscal year 2006.

these titles have been reclassified to loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for all years presented.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

The following is a discussion of our financial condition
and results of operations for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, and the Notes thereto, found in Item 8 and the Selected Financial Data
found in Item 6.

Executive Summary

We are a
leading publisher in the field of celebrity journalism and health and fitness magazines. Our publications includeStar, Shape, Mens Fitness, Fit Pregnancy, Natural Health, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Flex,
National Enquirer, Globe, Country Weekly, Mira!, Sun, National Examiner,and other publications. Our magazines comprise approximately 22% of total U.S. and Canadian circulation for audited weekly publications. For fiscal year 2007, total average
newsstand and subscription circulation per issue for all of our publications that are currently published and have a frequency of six or more times per year is approximately 8.0 million copies.

Following the announcement on February 8, 2006 by the Company that its previously issued financial statements included or otherwise summarized in its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 should no longer be relied upon, we have obtained amendments and waivers
of certain provisions of our credit agreement and have successfully completed consent solicitations pursuant to which holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of our senior subordinated notes agreed to waive defaults under our
indentures as a result of our failure to comply with our reporting obligations under the indentures. In addition, our credit ratings have been downgraded and we have implemented cost savings initiatives and revenue enhancement opportunities during
the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that are expected to result in $19.0 million to $20.0 million of cost savings and $17.0 million to $18.0 million of revenue enhancements during fiscal year 2008. Cost savings include the rationalization of
unprofitable subscriptions, production savings and headcount reductions. Revenue enhancements include cover price increases on selected titles other than Star, advertising rate increases in our Newspaper, Womens Health and Fitness and
Celebrity Publications other than Star and certain online initiatives that require minimal investment. As of June 30, 2007, we believe that the above-mentioned cost savings initiatives and revenue enhancement opportunities are on track
to be achieved during fiscal year 2008. We may not ultimately be able to realize some or all of these initiatives.

On April 4, 2006, our board of
directors committed to a plan (the Plan) to restructure certain of our operations. The Plan was adopted to improve our profitability and future net cash flows, and includes: discontinuing the publication of Celebrity Living
Weekly, MPH and Shape En Espanol, the relocation of the operations associated with National Enquirer from New York City back to Boca Raton, Florida, centralizing certain operations, and reducing certain other operating,
general and administrative expenses. The Companys relocation plan involved the termination of approximately 50 employees. This activity resulted in a charge of $4.0 million for fiscal year 2007, which included $2.3 million for termination
benefits, $0.1 million for costs associated with the relocation of employees, $0.6 million for facility closures and $0.9 million for deferred rack cost write-offs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we discontinued the publication of
Looking Good Now. The total loss from all of the above mentioned discontinued operations was $2.7 million, net of income taxes, for fiscal year 2007. Operating results of these publications have been classified as discontinued operations for
all periods presented. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

On June 14, 2006, we announced that we were implementing a strategy to refocus the Company and devote its full resources to growing its core brands. As part of this
strategy we announced that we will explore the sale of our five market leading special interest titles  Muscle & Fitness, Flex, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Country Weekly, and Mira!. These publications
collectively represented total revenues and operating loss of $83.5 million and $38.0 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2007. Operating loss includes a provision for impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of $67.3 million. As a result of
the Restatement and until the Company becomes current with its filings with the SEC, the implementation of this strategy has been delayed.

During fiscal
year 2007, we recorded a $312.6 million non-cash impairment charge relating to our goodwill, tradenames and other identified intangibles as compared to a $147.5 million non-cash impairment charge relating to our goodwill and tradenames in fiscal
year 2006. For a detailed description of this impairment charge, see Note 2, Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

In fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately 57% and 59% of our total operating revenues were from circulation. Single copy sales accounted for
approximately 83% of such circulation revenues in each of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the remainder was from subscription sales.

##### Table of Contents

Our advertising revenues are generated by national advertisers, including sports nutrition products, automotive,
entertainment, packaged goods, pharmaceutical, sports apparel, beauty and cosmetics, fashion and direct response. In fiscal years 2007 and 2006, approximately 35% and 34%, respectively, of our total operating revenues were from advertising.

Our primary operating costs and expenses are comprised of editorial, production, distribution, circulation and selling, general and administrative
expenses. The largest components of our costs are related to production, which includes printing and paper expenses, and circulation. Circulation costs primarily include the costs associated with subscription fulfillment and subscription postage.

We believe that the following factors have contributed to the leading market position of our publications:

Strong well-established brand names

Each of our publications
has leading positions in their respective categories.

Muscle & Fitness. Star is a weekly celebrity news-based glossy magazine dedicated to covering the stars of movies, television and music. Starseditorial content also incorporates fashion, beauty and accessories.

Broad distribution base

Our publications are sold in all 50 states in the United States, as well as in Canada and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, Latin America and Australia. Our distribution in the United States
includes virtually all of the leading supermarket chains, major convenience store chains and leading mass merchandisers as well as a broad base of regional and local newsstand outlets. In addition, DSI, our wholly owned subsidiary that works with
retailers to design their front-end racks and position magazines for increased sales, provides a value-added service to the retailers and helps to further strengthen our retailer relationships and distribution. Our distribution base also allows us
to efficiently launch new titles and expand the distribution of acquired titles.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an
on-going basis, including those related to revenue, trade receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred rack costs, income taxes and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these
estimates or our estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a companys financial position and results of operations, and require
managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The following accounting policies and estimates are those that management deems most critical. For a complete listing of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1,
Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are primarily comprised of
single copy, subscription and advertising. Single copy, subscription and advertising revenue and related expenses for our publications are recognized on the on-sale date.

On or about the date each issue is placed on sale, we receive a percentage of the issues estimated single copy sales proceeds for our publications as an advance from our major U.S. and Canadian distributor.

Revenues from single copy sales are recognized net of expected sales returns, after considering such factors as sales history and available market
information. All of our publications are sold with full return privileges. Our major U.S. and Canadian distributor provides us with weekly reporting on the actual returns by publication and by issue of each publication. We also receive sales data
from certain retailers that sell our publications. We utilize these data sources as well as our long-term history of sales data by publication to estimate the actual anticipated sale of our publications and our experience has demonstrated that the
actual sale of each issue of each magazine can be reasonably estimated based on this information. Our in-house circulation department has developed financial models which we utilize when projecting the anticipated sale of magazines. Revenues are
also presented net of deferred rack cost amortization, terminal rack promotions, product placement costs (retail display allowances and pockets) paid to the retailers and sales taxes.

Other revenues, primarily from marketing services performed for third parties by DSI, are recognized when the service is performed.

Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Substantially all of our trade receivables are from single copy distributors, subscriptions and advertising customers. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from our customers not making required
payments. We make estimates of the collectibility of trade receivables. We critically review trade receivables and analyze historical bad debts, past-due accounts, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy
of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We account for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS No. 142). Our reporting units are
tested annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142 during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year to determine whether their carrying value exceeds their fair value. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are also tested for
impairment on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would indicate that an impairment exists. Impairment losses, if any, are reflected in operating income or loss in the Consolidated Statements of
Loss. Our reporting units consist of our publications and other consolidated subsidiaries.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), we review finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that the carrying amount of such
assets may not be fully recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair
value of the asset compared to its carrying value. Impairment losses, if any, are reflected in operating income or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Loss.

In assessing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, we make estimates of fair value which are based on our projection of revenues, operating costs, and cash flows of each reporting unit considering historical and anticipated future
results, general economic and market conditions as well as the impact of planned business or operational strategies. The valuations employ a combination of present value techniques to measure fair value and consider market factors. Changes in our
judgments and projections could result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units and could result in an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.

During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we recorded certain non-cash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges. See Note 2, Goodwill and Other Identified
Intangible Assets, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion relating to the charges and assumptions utilized.

Deferred Rack Costs

Rack costs are capitalized and amortized
as a reduction in circulation revenue in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements (typically 36 months). We perform periodic and timely reviews to determine if impairment charges are required due to market conditions including store
closings or store bankruptcies.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, (SFAS No. 109) using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes requires a valuation against
deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on any changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income.

Contingent Liabilities

We have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. We accrue for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures
can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for contingent liabilities are reflected in our consolidated financial statements based on managements assessment, along with legal counsel, of the expected outcome of the contingencies. If the final
outcome of our contingencies differs from that currently expected, it would result in a change to earnings in the period determined.

|(2) | The Company revised fiscal year 2005 operating revenues for Celebrity Publications (previously reported as $128.6 million), Newspaper Publications (previously reported as $158.2
million), Womens Health and Fitness Publications (previously reported as $78.8 million), and Corporate/Other (previously reported as $111.5 million, adjusted for discontinued operations). The Company revised fiscal year 2005 operating income
(loss) for Celebrity Publications (previously reported as $26.3 million), Newspaper Publications (previously reported as $70.7 million), Womens Health and Fitness Publications (previously reported as $31.5 million), Distribution Services
(previously reported as $8.9 million) and Corporate/Other (previously reported as ($67.3) million, adjusted for discontinued operations). These revisions were made to properly present amounts in the appropriate segments. Consolidated operating
revenue and operating income were not affected by these revisions.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company changed its
reporting period from a 52-53 week year ending on the last Monday in March to a calendar month reporting period ending March 31. As a result of this change, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 includes three additional days of operating
expense. The three additional days decreased operating income and net income by approximately $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The three additional days did not have an effect on operating revenue.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue was $474.4 million and $484.6 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006,
respectively, representing a decrease in revenue of $10.2 million, or 2.1%. This decrease in operating revenue is primarily attributable to an $11.1 million decrease in operating revenue relating to our Celebrity Publications and a $1.8 million
decrease in operating revenue relating to our Newspaper Publications. These items were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in operating revenue relating to our Womens Health and Fitness Publications, a $0.8 million increase in net
operating revenues relating to our Distribution Services and a $0.5 million increase in operating revenue relating to Corporate/Other.

Single copy revenue
consists of copies distributed primarily by four wholesalers, which we estimate represent 85% of the newsstand distribution market, as well as several smaller wholesalers who represent the remaining 15%. Operating revenue generated by these
wholesalers is included in the Celebrity Publications, Newspaper Publications, Womens Health and Fitness Publications and Corporate/Other segments. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, three wholesalers each accounted for greater than
10% of our total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for 37% of our total operating revenue. In fiscal year ended March 31, 2006,

##### Table of Contents

two wholesalers each accounted for greater than 10% of our total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for 35% of our total operating revenue. Our
operating results could be materially affected if one or more of these wholesalers stopped distributing our publications. We have service agreements with our wholesalers, which provide incentives to maintain certain levels of service. Three of these
wholesaler service agreements require at least 120 days prior notice of termination, with terms expiring on December 31, 2007. The fourth wholesaler service agreement requires at least 60 days prior notice of termination, with a
term expiring on December 31, 2007.

Operating Expense

Total operating expense was $735.6 million and $581.4 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $154.2 million, or 26.5%. This increase in operating expense is primarily due to a $165.1 million
increase in non-cash impairment charges of certain goodwill, tradenames and other identified intangibles in fiscal year 2007 when compared to the fiscal year 2006 non-cash impairment charges. Also contributing to the increase in operating expense
was a $10.6 million increase in Restatement related costs and a $1.6 million increase in restructuring charges, both of which are included in selling, general and administrative expense. These items were partially offset by (1) a decrease in
depreciation and amortization expense of $9.0 million primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized; (2) a $6.5 million combined decrease in editorial, production and distribution, circulation and other cost of sales
attributable to lower circulation; and (3) $4.6 million of selling, general and administrative expense cost reductions relating to reduced litigation, employee bonus expenses and office related costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $97.4 million and $86.0
million for the fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $11.4 million, or 13.3%. This increase in interest expense relates to a higher effective weighted-average interest rate on our term loan and revolving credit
facility during fiscal year 2007 of 8.5% as compared to 6.7% in the prior years comparable period as well as a higher average outstanding balance during fiscal year 2007 as compared to the prior years comparable period. These items were
partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense related to our interest rate swap agreement.

Amortization of Deferred Debt Costs

Total amortization of deferred debt costs was $8.0 million and $10.7 million, respectively, for the fiscal years 2007 and 2006, representing a decrease of
$2.7 million, or 25.5%. This decrease in amortization of deferred debt costs was primarily attributable to the write-off of approximately $4.3 million of deferred debt costs in fiscal year 2006 related to the 2003 Credit Agreement which was replaced
by the 2006 Credit Agreement (each as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources below). This item was partially offset by increased amortization expense in fiscal year 2007 related to the payment of $10.5 million of consent and waiver
fees.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $2.5
million and $1.7 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Other income, net in fiscal year 2007 was primarily related to $1.2 million of cash received related to the recognition of the deferred gain on the sale of Frontline Marketing
Inc. and $1.3 million related to interest income. Interest income was driven by higher interest rates and invested cash balances during fiscal year 2007. Other income, net during fiscal year 2006 was primarily related to the receipt of $1.6 million
in cash from the sale of stock. We had provided advertising to a third party during fiscal year 2001, resulting in a receivable due from such third party, which we previously deemed to be worthless. In fiscal year 2003, we exchanged the
receivable associated with that advertising for stock in the third party, which we sold in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.

Discontinued
Operations

In order to improve our profitability and future net cash flows, in April 2006, we discontinued the Celebrity Living Weekly, MPH and
Shape En Espanol publications in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we discontinued the publication of Looking Good Now.Operating results of these publications have been
classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. These publications were previously included in the Corporate/Other segment. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

Income Taxes

The
income tax benefit decreased by $19.9 million to $22.9 million for fiscal year 2007 when compared to an income tax benefit of $42.9 million for fiscal year 2006. The income tax benefit for fiscal year 2007 is comprised of a $72.1 million current and
deferred income tax benefit primarily related to our post-impairment book loss and tax amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles net of the establishment of a valuation allowance of $49.2 million during fiscal year 2007. The income tax benefit
for fiscal year 2006 is comprised of a $61.4 million current and deferred income tax benefit related to our post-impairment book loss and tax amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles net of the establishment of a valuation allowance of $18.5
million during fiscal year 2006. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2007 and 2006 was a 6.3% benefit and 22.4% benefit, respectively.

Celebrity Publications Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Celebrity Publications segment was $123.9 million for fiscal year 2007, representing a decrease of $11.1 million, or 8.2%, from fiscal year 2006. This decrease in revenue is primarily
attributable to decreased circulation revenue for Starand Country Weeklyof $10.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily due to a reduction in newsstand circulation.

Operating Income

Operating income before goodwill and tradename
impairment charges in the Celebrity Publications segment decreased in fiscal year 2007 by $14.1 million, or 42.2%, to $19.3 million from fiscal year 2006. The operating income decrease was primarily attributable to increased Starsubscription
related costs of $2.5 million required to maintain the rate base, increasedStaradvertising related costs of $1.4 million and the above mentioned revenue decrease. These items were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in Star
newsstand related circulation expenses attributable to cost reduction initiatives. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge for goodwill and tradenames of $128.0 million and $61.4 million during fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
fiscal year 2007 and 2006 impairment charges resulted in an operating loss in the Celebrity Publications segment of $108.7 million and $27.9 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Newspaper Publications Segment

Operating
Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Newspaper Publications segment was $141.2 million for fiscal year 2007, representing a decrease of $1.8 million,
or 1.2%, from fiscal year 2006. This decrease in revenue is primarily a result of decreased circulation revenue of $2.2 million and $0.9 million for National Examiner and National Enquirer,respectively, from the prior years
comparable period due to a reduction in newsstand circulation. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in Globe circulation revenue primarily due to an increase in the average cover price.

Operating Income

Operating income before goodwill impairment in the
Newspaper Publications segment increased in fiscal year 2007 by $3.6 million, or 6.4%, to $60.3 million from fiscal year 2006. This increase in operating income is primarily attributable to a $0.4 million decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses primarily due to the reversal of certain franchise tax expenses, a $1.6 million decline in National Enquirer editorial expenses, a $1.9 million decline in National Enquirer production expenses and a $3.8 million
decline inNational Enquirerdistribution, circulation and other cost of sales as a result of circulation declines. These items were partially offset by the above mentioned revenue decrease, an increase of $1.3 million in restructuring costs,
and a $1.5 million increase in National Enquirer advertising expenses. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge for goodwill of $97.6 million during fiscal year 2007 and an impairment charge for tradenames of $68.1 million during fiscal
year 2006. The fiscal year 2007 and 2006 impairment charges resulted in an operating loss in the Newspaper Publications segment of $37.3 million and $11.4 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Womens Health and Fitness Publications Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Womens Health
and Fitness Publications segment was $75.9 million for fiscal year 2007, representing an increase of $1.4 million, or 1.9%, from fiscal year 2006. This increase in operating revenue is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in
Shape circulation revenue due to an increase in newsstand circulation.

Operating Income

Operating income in the Womens Health and Fitness Publications segment increased in fiscal year 2007 by $0.1 million, or 0.5%, to $24.0 million from fiscal year
2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the above mentioned revenue increase, a $0.8 million decrease in Shape production and distribution, circulation and other cost of sales due to lower print orders and lower subscription
costs and a $0.1 million reduction in employee related insurance expenses due to cost reduction initiatives. These items were partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in Shapeadvertising related expenses and an increase of $1.1 million in
Shape editorial expenses.

Distribution Services Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Distribution Services segment was $22.8 million, net of
eliminations, for fiscal year 2007, representing an increase of $0.8 million, or 3.7%, from fiscal year 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in services related to the racking of magazine fixtures for certain customers during
fiscal year 2007.

Operating Income

Operating income
in the Distribution Services segment increased in fiscal year 2007 by $0.5 million, or 6.2%, to $7.8 million from fiscal year 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to the above mentioned revenue increase and a $0.1 million reduction in
corporate overhead expenses due to cost reduction initiatives partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction in revenue from transactions with other operating segments of the Company.

Corporate/Other Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Corporate/Other segment was $110.7 million for fiscal year 2007, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.4%, from
fiscal year 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to a $0.9 million increase in circulation and advertising revenue from Muscle & Fitness, a $0.9 million increase in internet related revenue, a $0.5 million increase in
Muscle & Fitness Hers circulation and advertising revenue, a $0.8 million increase in circulation and advertising revenue for our special publications and a $0.5 million increase in Mira! circulation revenue. These items were
partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in Weekly World News circulation revenue and a $1.0 million decrease in Sun circulation revenue.

Operating Loss

Operating loss before goodwill, tradenames and other identified intangibles impairment in the Corporate/Other segment
decreased by $10.7 million, or 15.2%, to $60.0 million from fiscal year 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to the above mentioned revenue increase as well as a $9.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense primarily due
to certain assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized, a $9.4 million reduction in corporate overhead expenses due to cost reduction initiatives and a $1.5 million decrease in advertising costs. These items were partially offset by a $10.0
million increase in Restatement related costs and a $0.7 million increase in restructuring related costs. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge relating to goodwill, tradenames and other identified intangibles of $86.9 million during fiscal
year 2007 and we recorded an impairment charge relating to tradenames and goodwill of $17.9 million in fiscal year 2006. The fiscal year 2007 and 2006 impairment charges resulted in an operating loss in the Corporate/Other segment of $146.9 million
and $88.6 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006 to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue was
$484.6 million and $499.1 million, respectively, for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, representing a decrease in revenue of $14.5 million, or 2.9%. This decrease in operating revenue is primarily attributable to a $14.2 million decrease in operating
revenue relating to our Newspaper Publications, a $4.6 million decrease in operating revenue relating to our Womens Health and Fitness Publications and a $2.5 million decrease in operating revenue in Corporate/Other, partially offset by an
increase in operating revenue relating to our Celebrity Publications of $6.8 million.

Single copy revenue consists of copies distributed primarily by four
wholesalers, which we estimate represent 85% of the newsstand distribution market, as well as several smaller wholesalers who represent the remaining 15%. Operating revenue generated by these wholesalers is included in the Celebrity Publications,
Newspaper Publications, Womens Health and Fitness Publications and Corporate/Other segments. In fiscal years 2006 and 2005, two wholesalers each accounted for greater than 10% of our total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for
35% of our total operating revenue.

Operating Expense

Total operating expense was $581.4 million and $429.1 million, respectively, for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, representing an increase of $152.3 million, or 35.5%. This increase in operating expense is primarily due to the impairment
write-down of certain tradenames and goodwill in the amount of $147.5 million, higher subscription related costs of $8.4 million required to maintain the rate base, and Restatement related costs of $4.3 million. These expenses were partially offset
by decreased television advertising expenses of $4.8 million and decreased restructuring expenses of $1.8 million.

Workforce Reduction

During fiscal year 2006, we initiated a plan to relocate our subscription circulation department and certain Shape magazine editors from Woodland Hills,
California, to our New York City offices. Our relocation plan involved the termination of 22 employees. This activity resulted in fiscal year 2006 second quarter charges of $0.5 million for termination benefits which were included in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss. We have completed this restructuring plan.

During fiscal year
2005, we initiated a plan to relocate National Enquirer from Boca Raton, Florida to New York City, New York. Our relocation plan involved the termination of 34 employees and hiring employees in our New York City location. This activity
resulted in a charge of $2.3 million for termination benefits in 2005 and $0.2 million for costs in 2006 associated with the relocation of employees. These relocation plan costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss. During fiscal year 2006, we paid $2.2 million in termination benefits and paid $0.2 million in relocation costs of existing employees. The remaining severance benefits were fully paid in fiscal year
2007. We have completed this restructuring plan.

See Note 9, Restructuring Activities, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $86.0 million and $78.9 million, respectively, for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, representing an increase of $7.1 million, or 9.0%. This increase in interest expense primarily relates to a
higher effective weighted-average interest rate on our term loan and revolving credit facility during fiscal year 2006 of 6.7% as compared to 4.6% in fiscal year 2005.

Amortization of Deferred Debt Costs

Total amortization of deferred debt costs was $10.7 million and $6.6 million,
respectively, for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, representing an increase of $4.2 million, or 63.3%. This increase in amortization of deferred debt costs was primarily attributable to the write-off of approximately $4.3 million of deferred debt costs
related to the 2003 Credit Agreement which was replaced by the 2006 Credit Agreement.

##### Table of Contents

Other Income (Loss), Net

Other income (loss), net increased by $1.8 million to $1.7 million for fiscal year 2006. This increase in other income (loss), net is primarily attributable to $1.6 million in cash received from the sale of stock. We had provided
advertising to a third party during fiscal year 2001, resulting in a receivable due from such third party, which we previously deemed to be worthless. In fiscal year 2003, we exchanged the receivable associated with that advertising for stock in the
third party, which we sold in fiscal year 2006.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit increased by $38.4 million to $42.9 million for fiscal year 2006 when compared to an income tax benefit of $4.5 million for fiscal year 2005. The increase in the income tax benefit is primarily due to the increase in
the pre-tax loss of $176.3 million from fiscal year 2005 to 2006 partially offset by a provision for impairment of goodwill in the amount of $24.9 million during fiscal year 2006 which did not result in an income tax benefit and the establishment of
a valuation allowance of $18.5 million during fiscal year 2006. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2006 and 2005 was a 22.4% benefit and 28.8% benefit, respectively.

Celebrity Publications Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Celebrity Publications segment was $135.0 million for fiscal year 2006, representing an increase of $6.8 million, or 5.3%, from fiscal year
2005. This increase in revenue is primarily attributable to increased advertising revenue of $7.3 million from Star due to higher advertising rates achieved as a result of the re-launch of Star as a glossy consumer magazine.

Operating Income

Operating income before tradename
and goodwill impairment expense in the Celebrity Publications segment increased in fiscal year 2006 by $8.6 million, or 34.5%, to $33.5 million from fiscal year 2005. This increase in operating income was primarily caused by the above mentioned
revenue increase. In addition, we recorded a $36.8 million impairment charge, primarily relating to Starstradename, and a $24.6 million goodwill impairment charge related to Star resulting in an operating loss in the
Celebrity Publications segment of $27.9 million for fiscal year 2006.

Newspaper Publications Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Newspaper
Publications segment was $143.0 million for fiscal year 2006, representing a decrease of $14.2 million, or 9.0%, from fiscal year 2005. This decrease in revenue is primarily a result of decreased circulation and advertising revenue of National
Enquirer of $8.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and decreases in operating revenue of National Examiner and Globe of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The decline in circulation revenue of National
Enquirer was a result of a 17.0% decrease in circulation, partially offset by a cover price increase from $2.69 to $2.99, effective with the April 18, 2005 issue. This decline in circulation resulted in a lower advertising rate base and the
resulting decrease in advertising revenue.

Operating Income

Operating income before tradename impairment expense in the Newspaper Publications segment decreased in fiscal year 2006 by $12.4 million, or 17.9%, to $56.7 million from fiscal year 2005. This decrease in operating income is primarily
attributable to the above mentioned revenue decrease, partially offset by a decrease in operating expense of $1.8 million. In addition, we recorded a $68.1 million impairment charge for tradename impairment primarily relating to National Enquirerresulting in an operating loss in the Newspaper Publications segment of $11.4 million for fiscal year 2006.

Womens Health and Fitness Publications Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in the Womens Health
and Fitness Publications segment was $74.5 million for fiscal year 2006, representing a decrease of $4.6 million, or 5.9%, from fiscal year 2005. This decrease in revenue is primarily a result of a decrease in Shapes advertising and
circulation revenue of $3.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in advertising revenue of $0.6 million for Fit Pregnancy. The decrease in advertising revenue of Shape is a result of certain athletic
footwear manufacturers converting their advertising budgets from print ads to television ads, as well as the loss of certain beauty advertisers.

Operating Income

Operating income in the Womens Health and Fitness Publications segment decreased in fiscal year 2006 by $7.7
million, or 24.3%, to $23.8 million from fiscal year 2005. This decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the above mentioned revenue decrease, as well as increased subscription acquisition costs of $1.4 million to increase and
support the rate base and increased production costs of $1.3 million for Shape.

Distribution Services Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in
the Distribution Services segment was $21.9 million, net of eliminations, for fiscal year 2006, representing a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.3%, from fiscal year 2005.

Operating Income

Operating income in the Distribution Services segment decreased in fiscal year 2006 by $2.3
million, or 23.6%, to $7.3 million from fiscal year 2005. This decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to an 8.4% increase, or $1.7 million, in direct costs of the services provided. The increased costs were a result of our investment
in additional headcount to service new customer accounts and to support the re-launch of Star.

Corporate/Other Segment

Operating Revenue

Total operating revenue in
the Corporate/Other segment was $110.2 million for fiscal year 2006, representing a decrease of $2.5 million, or 2.2%, from fiscal year 2005. This decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising revenue for Mens
Fitness of $1.4 million, attributable to reductions in advertising pages and advertising revenue per page; a decrease in revenue from Muscle & Fitness Hers of $3.2 million, resulting from a reduction in the number of issues
published from nine issues during fiscal year 2005 to four issues during fiscal year 2006; and a decrease in operating revenue of $1.4 million for Weekly World News, $0.6 million for Globe Digest and $1.3 million for special publications.
These items were partially offset by increased advertising revenue of $5.7 million for Muscle & Fitness.

Operating Loss

Operating loss before tradename and goodwill impairment expense in the Corporate/Other segment increased in the fiscal year 2006 by $5.7 million, or 8.8%, to $70.7
million from fiscal year 2005. This increase in operating loss is primarily due to an increase of $7.0 million in advertising, insurance, accounting and finance costs as well as the above mentioned revenue decrease. These items were partially offset
by a decrease in restructuring expenses of $1.8 million and a $3.6 million reduction in production costs for our special publications due to circulation reductions. In addition, we recorded a $17.9 million impairment charge for tradename and
goodwill impairments, increasing the total operating loss in the Corporate/Other segment to $88.6 million for fiscal year 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and amounts available to be borrowed under our credit agreement dated as of January 30, 2006 (as amended, the 2006 Credit
Agreement). For a description of the terms of the 2006 Credit Agreement, see also Note 6, Credit Agreement, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60.4 million, $60.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility under the 2006 Credit Agreement
(which represents the full amount available to be borrowed under the revolving credit facility), and a working capital deficit of $17.8 million. As of June 30, 2007, we had an outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility under the 2006
Credit Agreement of $60.0 million and an estimated cash balance of $37.6 million. The decrease in cash from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007 was primarily related to a $20.5 million semi-annual interest payment on our senior subordinated
notes. The decrease in working capital deficit of $21.0 million from $38.8 million at March 31, 2006 to $17.8 million at March 31, 2007, primarily resulted from a $4.8 million decrease in current accrued expenses and other liabilities and
a $40.8 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. These items were partially offset by a $13.1 million decrease in inventories, a $3.5 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $6.1 million increase in accrued interest
and a $1.9 million decrease in trade receivables.

We currently believe that available funds and cash flows generated by operations, if any, will be
sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We believe that available cash at March 31, 2007 should help mitigate future possible cash flow requirements. Our revolving credit
commitment matures in January 2012 but may mature sooner if we do not refinance our outstanding 10.25% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the 2009 Notes) on or prior to February 1, 2009 in accordance with the requirements of the
2006 Credit Agreement (in which case the maturity date will be February 1, 2009) or we do not refinance our outstanding 8.875% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the 2011 Notes and, together with the 2009 Notes, the
Notes) on or prior to October 15, 2010 in accordance with the requirements of the 2006 Credit Agreement (in which case the maturity date will be October 15, 2010). To the extent we make future acquisitions, we may require new
sources of funding, including additional debt, equity financing or some combination thereof. There can be no assurances that we will be able to secure additional sources of funding or that such additional sources of funding will be available to us
on acceptable terms.

At March 31, 2007, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $1.1 billion, of which $510.0 million represented borrowings under the
2006 Credit Agreement and $550.0 million represented the Notes. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, for risks associated with our indebtedness.

Effective August 20, 2003, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converted a portion of our fixed-rate debt to variable rate debt. On July 28, 2006, we paid $1.6 million in connection with the interim
settlement of our swap agreement. At each reset date we either received or paid money based on the current interest rates as of that date. The final settlement date was January 15, 2007, which coincided with the swap agreement termination date.
On January 24, 2007, we paid $1.6 million in connection with the final settlement of this swap agreement. The change in the fair value of the swap has been recognized as a net addition to interest expense of $3.7 million, $1.5 million and $0.4
million for fiscal years ended 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Cash FlowComparison of Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 to Fiscal Year
Ended March 31, 2006

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.9 million for fiscal year 2007, as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $4.9 million for fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2007, net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a $343.8 million net loss, a $6.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities (primarily due
to the settlement of our interest rate swap and a decrease in accrued rack costs) and a $1.0 million increase in trade receivables. These items were partially offset by a $12.1 million decrease in inventories (resulting from our efforts to more
efficiently manage our inventory levels), $314.6 million of non-cash expenses (excluding amortization and write-off of deferred rack costs) primarily a result of the $312.6 million impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, a net decrease in
deferred rack costs of $9.1 million, an increase in accrued interest of $6.1 million (due to a higher effective weighted-average interest rate on our term loan and revolving credit facility during fiscal year 2007 of 8.5% as compared to 6.7% in the
prior years comparable period as well as a higher average outstanding balance during fiscal year 2007 as compared to the prior years comparable period), a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.6 million and an
increase in accounts payable of $1.1 million. During fiscal year 2006, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to $153.8 million of non-cash expenses primarily as a result of the $147.5 million impairment of intangible
assets and goodwill, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $19.1 million (primarily related to our obligation for Mr. Olympia, LLC, and an increase in accrued rack costs and accrued income and other taxes) and an
increase in accounts payable of $3.3 million, partially offset by a net loss of $160.9 million, an increase in trade receivables of $4.9 million and a $5.5 million decrease in deferred revenues.

Credit Agreement and
Subordinated Indebtedness

On January 30, 2006, we entered into the 2006 Credit Agreement, replacing the then existing Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of January 23, 2003 (the 2003 Credit Agreement).

The 2006 Credit Agreement allows for revolving loans, term loans,
swingline loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of up to $510.0 million. The 2006 Credit Agreement includes certain representations and warranties, conditions precedent, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of
default. The negative covenants include financial maintenance covenants comprised of a leverage ratio, a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, and capital expenditure limits. The 2006 Credit Agreement also
contains certain covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, restrict paying cash dividends, incurring additional indebtedness, creating liens, making acquisitions or other investments, entering into certain mergers or consolidations and selling
or otherwise disposing of assets. We have obtained a number of waivers and amendments to the 2006 Credit Agreement since January 30, 2006. As of March 31, 2007,

##### Table of Contents

we were in compliance with these covenants, as so amended. Although there can be no assurances, we anticipate that, based on current projections, our
operating results for fiscal year 2008 will be sufficient to satisfy the financial covenants, as amended, under the 2006 Credit Agreement.

The
indebtedness under the 2006 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of all of our domestic subsidiaries. In addition, our obligations are secured by a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of, or
other equity interests in, substantially all of our existing or subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries and a percentage of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, certain of our subsequently acquired or organized
subsidiaries.

Included in the 2006 Credit Agreement is a $60.0 million revolving credit facility and a $450.0 million term loan agreement. Under the 2006
Credit Agreement, we have the right to arrange an increase in the facilities available thereunder by up to $250.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including arranging for one or more lenders to agree to provide such
facilities and pro forma compliance with the financial covenants included therein. There can be no assurance that we would be able to arrange for any such increase in the future or satisfy such conditions. Our future ability to borrow funds under
any such increase and the interest rates on those funds could be dependent on improved performance or adversely impacted by a further decline in our debt ratings and by negative conditions in the debt capital markets.

As of March 31, 2007, under the 2006 Credit Agreement, we had $450.0 million of borrowings under the term loan commitments and there was $60.0 million outstanding
under the revolving credit commitment. The 2006 Credit Agreement requires us, and the 2003 Credit Agreement required us, to pay a commitment fee ranging from 3/8% to 1/2% of the unused portion of the revolving commitment. Commitment fee payments
under the 2006 and 2003 Credit Agreements totaled $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Borrowings under the term loan commitments included in the 2006 Credit Agreement are payable in varying quarterly installments commencing in fiscal year 2009. The Company is required to make Excess Cash Flow payments (as defined), which
will be applied ratably to the then outstanding term loans. There were no required Excess Cash Flow payments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

The effective interest rate under the 2006 Credit Agreement, including amounts borrowed under the term loan commitments and revolving credit commitment, as of March 31, 2007, was 8.6% and the effective weighted-average interest rates
under the 2006 and 2003 Credit Agreements for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007 were 4.6%, 6.7% and 8.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective weighted-average interest rate is tied to the increase in LIBOR.

We are subject to interest risk on our credit facilities and any future financing requirements.

Our fixed rate debt consists primarily of the Notes. On May 7, 1999, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2009 Notes. The notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all
our existing and future senior indebtedness. These Notes rank equally with all the Companys existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Companys domestic
subsidiaries.

On February 14, 2002, we issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2009 Notes through a private placement. The gross
proceeds from the offering were $150.8 million including a premium on the notes of $0.8 million. We used the gross proceeds of the offering (a) to make a $75.4 million distribution to the LLC, (b) to prepay $68.4 million of the term loans
under our then existing credit agreement and (c) to pay transaction costs. These notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness. These notes rank equally with all the
Companys existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. These notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Companys domestic subsidiaries. These notes, together with the senior subordinated notes issued in May
1999, constitute a single series of debt securities.

On January 23, 2003, we issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2011 Notes
through a private placement. The net proceeds from the offering were $145.9 million, including a discount on the notes of $4.1 million. We used the net proceeds of the offering to (a) fund the acquisition of Weider Publications LLC and
(b) pay transaction costs. These notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness. These notes rank equally with all of the Companys existing and future senior
subordinated indebtedness. These notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Companys domestic subsidiaries.

We are required to
meet specified leverage ratios as of September 30, 2007 and 2008 relating to our Notes.

##### Table of Contents

If we fail to meet the specified leverage ratio of 8:1 as of September 30, 2007, we will be required to make one of
three elections which are as follows: 1) issue an additional $20.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the existing holders of the Notes, or 2) issue a cash payment of $20.0 million to the holders of the Notes or (3) issue equity or
receive a cash equity contribution in such amount as will result in net proceeds to the Company of no less than $40.0 million or in such lesser amount sufficient to permit us to achieve the specified leverage ratio (after giving pro forma effect to
the reduction of indebtedness that shall be effected with such proceeds). We anticipate that we will not meet the specified leverage test. If this occurs, we expect to issue $20.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the existing holders of the
Notes.

If we fail to meet the specified leverage ratio of 7.25:1 as of September 30, 2008, we will be required to make one of three elections which
are as follows: 1) issue an additional $35.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the existing holders of the Notes, or 2) issue a cash payment of $20.0 million to the holders of the Notes or (3) issue equity or receive a cash equity
contribution in such amount as will result in net proceeds to the Company of no less than $50.0 million or in such lesser amount sufficient to permit us to achieve the specified leverage ratio (after giving pro forma effect to the reduction of
indebtedness that shall be effected with such proceeds).

For a description of the amendment and waiver agreements entered into by the Company during and
subsequent to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 with respect to, and affecting, the 2006 Credit Agreement, see Note 6, Credit Agreement, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

For a description of the waiver and consent agreements entered into by the Company during and subsequent to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 with
respect to, and affecting, the Notes, see Note 7, Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by all of our domestic subsidiaries. Each domestic subsidiary that will be organized in the future by us, unless such subsidiary is designated
as an unrestricted subsidiary, will jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the Notes on a senior subordinated basis. Subordinated note guarantees are joint and several, full and unconditional and general unsecured obligations of the
note guarantors. The note guarantors are comprised of all of our domestic subsidiaries. Subordinated note guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the note guarantors, including the 2006 Credit
Agreement, and are also effectively subordinated to all secured obligations of note guarantors to the extent of the assets securing such obligations, including the 2006 Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the indentures permit note guarantors to incur
additional indebtedness, including senior debt, subject to certain limitations. See Note 18, Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

At March 31, 2006 and 2007, our short- and long-term debt was rated by the two major credit-rating agencies listed below. The ratings reflect the
respective views of the rating agencies, from which an explanation of the significance of their ratings may be obtained. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn
entirely by the rating agencies, if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant.

printing agreements to print Star with unrelated printers expiring in our fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2012, respectively. We also have a printing agreement with an unrelated printer to print certain of our European publications expiring
in fiscal year 2011. Based on current pricing and production levels, these contracts, excluding the agreement with the printer of certain of our European publications, which require pricing adjustments based on changes in the consumer price index,
are estimated to cost approximately $579.0 million over their remaining life.

products and services other than publications. We pay Weider Health and Fitness $0.2 million per year pursuant to the trademark license agreement and we have estimated that such payments will continue through 2017. We also have the right to use the
Weider, Team Weider and Joe Weider trademarks in most other countries in the world.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
entitys financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109.The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 prescribes that tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold be measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will
have on the results of our operations, financial position or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on the results of our operations,
financial position or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. If
elected, an entity must report unrealized gains and losses on the item in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for
by the equity method; is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on our financial
statements, which is effective beginning in fiscal year 2009.



|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to certain market risks that are inherent in our financial statements. We are subject to interest rate risk on our credit facilities and any future financing requirements. Our fixed rate debt consists
primarily of the Notes.

Our primary market risk exposures relate to (1) the interest rate risk on long-term borrowings, (2) our ability to
refinance the Notes at maturity at market rates, (3) the impact of interest rate movements on our ability to meet interest expense requirements and comply with financial covenants, (4) the impact of interest rate movements on our ability
to obtain adequate financing to fund acquisitions, (5) the impact of paper or postage cost increases and (6) the impact of changes in distribution and placement costs. We manage the interest rate risk on our outstanding long-term debt
through our use of fixed and variable rate debt. While we cannot predict or manage our ability to refinance existing debt or the impact interest rate movements will have on our ability to refinance existing debt, we continue to evaluate our
financial position on an ongoing basis.

Interest rate changes affect our income before taxes and cash provided from operating activities. A 1% change in
our weighted average interest rate on our variable debt would have resulted in a change of $5.1 million in our interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2007.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

We face exposures to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates, as a portion of
our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Euro. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve. Currently, we
do not hold any derivatives contracts that hedge our foreign currency risk, but we may adopt such strategies in the future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of American Media
Operations, Inc.:

Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Media Operations, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of American Media, Inc., and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
loss, stockholders equity (deficit) and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2006 and
2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 18, the accompanying 2005 and 2006 consolidated financial statements have been restated to include supplemental condensed consolidating financial
information.

entities, the Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities  An Interpretation of ARB No. 51 All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In fiscal year 2007, the Company published six weekly publications:
National Enquirer, Star, Globe, National Examiner, Weekly World NewsandSun; two bi-weekly publications:Country Weeklyand Mira!; five monthly publications: Muscle & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers,
Shape, Mens Fitness and Flex;one bi-monthly publication: Fit Pregnancy; and one publication which is published ten times per year: Natural Health. Distribution Services, Inc. (DSI), the Companys
wholly owned subsidiary, arranges for the placement of the Companys publications and third-party publications with retailers and monitors through its merchandising staff that these publications are properly displayed in stores, primarily large
supermarkets and major retail chains such as Wal-Mart and Target. DSI coordinates (also known as acting as a category captain) the racking of magazine fixtures for selected retailers. In addition, DSI provides sales of marketing,
merchandising and information gathering services for third parties including non-magazine clients.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the
Company changed its reporting period from a 52-53 week year ending on the last Monday in March to a calendar month reporting period ending March 31. As a result of this change, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 includes three additional
days of operating expense. The three additional days decreased operating income and net income by approximately $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The three additional days did not have an effect on operating revenue.

Revenue Recognition

The Companys revenues are primarily
comprised of single copy, subscription and advertising. Single copy, subscription and advertising revenue and related expenses for the Companys publications are recognized on the on-sale date.

On or about the date each issue is placed on sale, the Company receives a percentage of the issues estimated single copy sales proceeds for the Companys
publications as an advance from the Companys major U.S. and Canadian distributor.

Revenues from single copy sales are recognized net of expected
sales returns, after considering such factors as sales history and available market information. All of the Companys publications are sold with full return privileges. The Companys major U.S. and Canadian distributor provides the Company
weekly reporting on the actual returns by publication and by issue of each publication. The Company also receives sales data from certain retailers that sell its publications. The Company utilizes these data sources as well as the Companys
long-term history of sales data by publication to estimate the actual anticipated sale of the Companys publications and the Companys experience has demonstrated that the actual sale of each issue of each magazine can be reasonably
estimated based on this information. The Companys in-house circulation department has developed financial models which the Company utilizes when projecting the anticipated sale of magazines. Revenues are also presented net of deferred rack
cost amortization, terminal rack promotions, product placement costs (retail display allowances and pockets) paid to the retailers and sales taxes.

Other revenues, primarily from marketing services performed for third parties by DSI, are recognized when the service is performed.

Wholesaler Concentrations

Single copy revenues consist of copies sold primarily to four wholesalers, which the Company estimates represent 85% of the newsstand distribution market, as well as several smaller wholesalers who represent the
remaining 15%. Operating revenue generated by these wholesalers is included in the Celebrity Publications, Womens Health and Fitness Publications, and Corporate/Other segments. In fiscal years 2005 and 2006, two wholesalers each accounted for
greater than 10% of the Companys total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for approximately 35% of the Companys total operating revenue. In fiscal year 2007, three wholesalers each accounted for greater than 10% of the
Companys total operating revenue and in the aggregate accounted for approximately 37% of the Companys total operating revenue. The Companys operating results could be materially affected if one or more of these wholesalers stopped
delivering the Companys publications. The Company has service agreements with its wholesalers, which provide incentives to maintain certain levels of service. Three of these wholesaler service agreements require at least 120 days prior
notice of termination, with terms expiring on December 31, 2007. The fourth wholesaler service agreement requires at least 60 days prior notice of termination, with a term expiring on December 31, 2007.

Barter Transactions

The Company trades advertisements in its
publications in exchange for advertising and goods and services. Revenue and related expenses from barter transactions are recorded at fair value in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 99-17, Accounting for
Advertising Barter Transactions and Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. Revenue from barter transactions is recognized in accordance with the Companys revenue
recognition policies. Expense from barter transactions is recognized as incurred. Revenue and expense from barter transactions for the fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007 was not significant.

Editorial Costs

External editorial costs relating to photos,
artwork and text are expensed as the issue relating to each specific cost is recognized as revenue. Internal editorial costs are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand or deposited in demand deposit accounts with financial
institutions and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Book overdrafts of $0.6 million and $0.1 million have been recorded in accounts payable as of March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and are included
in cash flows from operating activities.

Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Substantially all of the Companys trade receivables are from single copy distributors, subscriptions and advertising customers. The Company maintains allowances for
doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its customers not making required payments. The Company makes estimates of the collectibility of trade receivables. The Company critically reviews trade receivables and analyzes historical bad
debts, past-due accounts, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The
Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence and/or excess or damaged inventory. During fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company wrote down $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $0.9 million of inventory, respectively. This write down is
included in production expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss. Inventories are comprised of the following at March 31 (in thousands):

Direct-Response Advertising Costs

Direct-response advertising costs that are intended to solicit subscriptions and are expected to result in probable future benefits are capitalized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 93-7, Reporting on Advertising Costs. These costs are amortized over the period during which future benefits are expected to be received which is generally
the related one-year subscription period. The asset balance of the capitalized direct-response advertising costs is reviewed quarterly to ensure the amount is realizable. Any write-downs resulting from this review are expensed as subscription
acquisition advertising costs in the current period. Capitalized direct-response advertising costs were $5.1 million and $4.7 million at March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no material write-downs of capitalized direct-response advertising costs in any of the three fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 2007.

Long-Lived Assets

Whenever significant events or changes occur, such as those affecting general market
conditions or pertaining to a specific industry or an asset category, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). When such factors, events or circumstances indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of cash
flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) over the remaining lives of the assets to measure recoverability. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, the loss is measured as the amount by which
the carrying value of the asset exceeds fair value.

Property and Equipment

The Company uses the straight-line depreciation method for financial reporting. The estimated lives used in computing depreciation for financial reporting purposes are 2 to 8 years for leasehold improvements, and 3 to
10 years for all other depreciable fixed assets. Depreciation for leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repair
costs are charged to expense as incurred; significant improvements and betterments are capitalized.

In compliance with AICPA SOP 98-1, Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company expenses internal use software costs incurred in the preliminary project stage and, thereafter, capitalizes costs incurred in developing or obtaining
internal use software and includes them in property and equipment, net. Certain costs, such as maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over a period of not more than three years using the straight-line
method. The Company capitalizes certain costs, which generally include hardware, software, and payroll related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the development of internal use computer software.

Deferred Debt Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized under
the effective-interest method over the terms of the related indebtedness which range from 3 to 10 years.

##### Table of Contents

Deferred Rack Costs

Rack costs are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of circulation revenue in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements (typically 36 months). The Company performs periodic and timely reviews to determine if impairment
charges are required due to market conditions including store closings or store bankruptcies.

Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets primarily consist of deposits on leased facilities and a deposit with the Companys largest national distributor.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). The Companys reporting units are tested annually in accordance with
SFAS No. 142 during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year to determine whether their carrying value exceeds their fair value. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are also tested for impairment on an interim basis if an event
occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that would indicate that an impairment exists. Impairment losses, if any, are reflected in operating income or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Companys reporting units
consist of its publications and other consolidated subsidiaries.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets
for impairment whenever an event occurs or circumstances change which indicates that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting
from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset compared to its carrying value. Impairment losses, if any, are reflected in operating income or loss in the
Consolidated Statements of Loss.

In assessing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, the Company makes estimates of fair value which are based on
its projection of revenues, operating costs, and cash flows of each reporting unit considering historical and anticipated future results, general economic and market conditions as well as the impact of planned business or operational strategies. The
valuations employ a combination of present value techniques to measure fair value and consider market factors. Changes in the Companys judgments and projections could result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the
reporting units and could result in an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other liabilities are comprised of the following at March 31 (in thousands):

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues are comprised of the following at March 31 (in thousands):



|                  |  |      |        |      |   |

|                  |  |      |        |      |   |       

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, (SFAS No. 109) using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes requires a valuation against
deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on any changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

Translation
of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts

The net assets and operations of entities outside of the United States are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and
liabilities are translated at fiscal year-end exchange rates and income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and
losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Contingent
Liabilities

The Company has certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues for
contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for contingent liabilities are reflected in the Companys consolidated financial statements based on
managements assessment, along with legal counsel, of the expected outcome of the contingencies. If the final outcome of the contingencies differs from that currently expected, it would result in a change to earnings in the period determined.

Derivatives and Hedging

The Company reports
all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or comprehensive income, depending on the designation of the derivative. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives that are not designated as a hedge are reported immediately in earnings. The Company records the changes in the value of its interest rate swap agreement in earnings each period.

##### Table of Contents

Interest earned (payable) under the interest rate swap is credited (charged) to interest expense using the accrual
method. The related accrued receivable or payable is included in accrued interest payable. The fair market value of the interest rate swap agreement is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 4, Fair Value of
Financial Instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109.The
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 prescribes that tax positions that meet
a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold be measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FIN 48 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which enhances
existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the
Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on the results of its operations, financial position or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. If elected, an entity must report unrealized gains
and losses on the item in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; is irrevocable (unless a
new election date occurs); and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements, which is effective beginning in
fiscal year 2009.

(2) Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Assets

As of March 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company had goodwill with carrying values of $623.6 million and $387.5 million, respectively. Other identified intangible assets not subject to amortization had a carrying value
of $427.2 million and $355.5 million as of March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and consist of trade names with indefinite lives. During fiscal year 2006, the Company recorded a $6.0 million increase to tradenames in association with its
investment in Mr. Olympia, LLC. The $6.0 million increase to tradenames consisted of a $0.6 million cash payment and a $5.4 million increase to current accrued expenses and other liabilities. See Note 11, Mr. Olympia, LLC, for
further discussion.

Identified intangible assets with finite lives subject to amortization consist of the following at March 31 (in thousands):

Impairment Charges

In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, the Company has completed its annual impairment test for both its tradenames and goodwill. SFAS No. 142 provides a two-step impairment test for
goodwill. The first step of the impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment
test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.

As a result of the Companys impairment testing under SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, non-cash impairment charges for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 by
reportable segment are as follows (in thousands):

|(1) | The Company was in the process of reviewing the second step of the goodwill impairment test during the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 and, as such, recorded an
estimate of the non-cash goodwill impairment charges in such quarter as these charges were probable and could be reasonably estimated. The review of the second step was completed in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007. Based upon the
completed impairment test, the Company determined that no adjustment was necessary to the estimate recorded during the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006.

The Company recorded the fiscal year 2007 non-cash impairment charges described above in the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006, which were as a result of the continued decline in the Companys
profitability during that quarter. The impairment charges were primarily the result of a change in managements expectations of long-term cash flows resulting from declining profitability in fiscal year 2007.

##### Table of Contents

The Company recorded the fiscal year 2006 non-cash impairment charges described above in the fourth fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2006, which were primarily the result of a change in managements expectations of long-term cash flows attributable to expected future circulation declines and unexpected underperformance during fiscal year 2006. The combination
of these factors had an adverse impact on the anticipated future cash flows of the Companys reporting units used in the annual impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. The reduced circulation levels at these
reporting units were primarily the result of decreased demand of the reporting units publications attributable to continued industry circulation declines and increased competition. In performing the SFAS No. 142 impairment assessment,
management determined that this shift in demand was more than temporary, consequently impacting the forecast used in the Companys goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible analysis.

Impairment Charge Assumptions

The estimate of fair value of the Companys tradename and goodwill
reporting units was based on the Companys projection of revenues, operating costs, and cash flows considering historical and anticipated future results, general economic and market conditions as well as the impact of planned business and
operational strategies. The valuation employed a combination of present value techniques to measure fair value and considered market factors. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Companys tradename and goodwill reporting
units during the fiscal year 2006 and 2007 impairment tests were:



| | a) | expected cash flow periods of five years;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------



| | b) | terminal values based upon terminal growth rates ranging from -10.0% to 5.0% and 0% to 5.0% for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c) | implied multiples ranging from 3.9 to 10.5 and 2.0 to 9.8 used in the business enterprise value income and market approaches for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively; and
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | d) | discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 13.0% which were based on the Companys best estimate of the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for risks associated with the
reporting units for each of fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management believes the rates used are consistent with the risks
inherent in the Companys current business model and with industry discount rates. Changes in managements judgments and estimates could result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units and could result
in a change in the impairment of tradenames and goodwill. A variance in the assumptions used could have had a significant impact on the amount of tradename and goodwill impairment charges recorded. For example:



| | a) | a 1% change in the discount rate would have caused an increase or decrease in the tradename impairment charges by approximately $35.0 million and $8.3 million in fiscal years
2006 and 2007, respectively;
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | a 1% change in the discount rate would have changed the estimated fair value of the Companys reporting units and may have caused other reporting units to incur tradename
impairment charges in each of fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively;
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c) | a 5% decrease in the enterprise value may have caused goodwill impairment of two publications and one other publication in fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively; and
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | d) | in fiscal year 2006, a 5% increase in the enterprise value would have caused no impairment charges to the Celebrity Publications segment and a $0.1 million impairment charge to the
Corporate/Other segment; in fiscal year 2007, a 5% increase in the enterprise value would not have resulted in a $97.6 million impairment charge for the Newspaper Publications segment; and in addition, a 5% increase in the enterprise value may have
reduced the goodwill impairment charges in the other reportable segments by $26.1 million.

|                             |  |                |         |      |            |   |                |  |   |            |     |  |   |

|                             |  | CarryingAmount |         |      | Fair Value |   | CarryingAmount |  |   | Fair Value
|Term loan                    |  | $              | 450,000 |      |            | $ | 450,000        |  | $ | 450,000    |     |  | $ | 450,000
|Revolving credit facility    |  |                |        |      |            |   |               |  |   | 60,000     |     |  |   | 60,000

|Interest rate swap liability |  |                | 2,742   |      |            |   | 2,742          |  |   |           |     |  |   |       



|(a) | Amount does not include the bond premium.
|--- | -----------------------------------------

The fair value of the
Companys financial instruments is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rate offered to the Company for financial instruments of the same remaining maturities. The carrying amount for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Effective August 20, 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converted a portion of the Companys fixed-rate debt to variable rate debt. The agreement, which expired on January 15,
2007, had a notional amount of $150.0 million. Under that agreement, the Company received a fixed rate of 8.875% and paid LIBOR in arrears plus a spread of 5.38% subject to a collar adjustment.

The Company recorded a liability for the swap agreement at its fair value of $2.7 million as of March 31, 2006. The change in the fair value of the swap has been
recognized as a net addition to interest expense of $3.7 million, $1.5 million and $0.4 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. On July 15, 2004, the Company received $1.2 million in connection with the interim settlement of
this swap agreement. On January 18, 2005, the Company received $0.2 million in connection with the interim settlement of this swap agreement. On July 15, 2005, the Company received $0.2 million in connection with the interim settlement of
this swap agreement. On January 15, 2006, the Company paid $1.2 million in connection with the interim settlement of this swap agreement. On July 28, 2006, the Company paid $1.6 million in connection with the interim settlement of this
swap agreement. At each reset date the Company either received or paid money based on the current interest rates as of that date. The final settlement date was January 15, 2007, which coincided with the swap agreement termination date. On
January 24, 2007, the Company paid $1.6 million in connection with the final settlement of this swap agreement.

Approximately $86.6 million of the federal net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2007 expire in 2026
and the remaining $40.7 million expire in 2027. Approximately $33.1 million of the state net operating loss carryforwards at March 31, 2007 expire between 2010 and 2022 and the remaining $70.8 million expire between 2025 and 2027.

The asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The company established a $23.0 million and recorded an additional $50.2 million valuation allowance during fiscal years 2006 and 2007,
respectively, to reduce both current and non-current deferred income tax assets as the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized. The valuation allowance established during fiscal years
2006 and 2007 reduced the following net deferred tax assets (in thousands):

The valuation allowance was provided against a portion of the deferred tax assets, exclusive of the deferred tax
liability for amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles, as the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that those benefits will be realized. The Companys deferred tax liabilities related to the amortization of
indefinite-lived intangibles are not considered a future source of income to support the realization of deferred tax assets within the carryforward period. In the future, the Company will record additional deferred tax expense in the event a
valuation allowance against net operating loss carryforwards is required due to amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets that are deductible for tax purposes, but no longer amortized in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company accrued for contingent liabilities related to state income taxes and interest it may be required to pay in various taxing jurisdictions. As of
March 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company recorded $3.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of such contingency accruals in current accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. A portion of this
contingency relates to ongoing state tax audits.

In addition to the accruals for contingent income tax liabilities, the Company has also accrued for
contingent liabilities for non-income related taxes. As of March 31, 2006 and 2007, these accruals amounted to $5.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of which $5.1 million and $4.5 million are recorded in current accrued expenses and
other liabilities and $0.7 million and $0.9 million are recorded in accrued interest in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(6) Credit
Agreement

On January 30, 2006, the Company entered into a bank credit agreement (the 2006 Credit Agreement), replacing its then
existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 23, 2003 (the 2003 Credit Agreement). The 2003 Credit Agreement had allowed for term loans, revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $485.0 million. On the date of termination, aggregate extensions of credit outstanding under the 2003 Credit Agreement totaled $443.0 million plus $2.0 million of accrued interest. These amounts and approximately $5.0 million of professional
and bank fees incurred to establish the 2006 Credit Agreement were paid off with $450.0 million of borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement.

##### Table of Contents

The 2006 Credit Agreement allows for revolving loans, term loans, swingline loans and letters of credit in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $510.0 million. The Companys revolving credit commitment matures in January 2012 but may mature sooner if the Company does not refinance its outstanding 10.25% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the 2009
Notes) on or prior to February 1, 2009 in accordance with the requirements of the 2006 Credit Agreement (in which case the maturity date will be February 1, 2009) or the Company does not refinance its outstanding 8.875% senior
subordinated notes due 2011 (the 2011 Notes and, together with the 2009 Notes, the Notes) on or prior to October 15, 2010 in accordance with the requirements of the 2006 Credit Agreement (in which case the maturity date
will be October 15, 2010). The 2006 Credit Agreement includes certain representations and warranties, conditions precedent, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default which are similar to the 2003 Credit Agreement. The
negative covenants include financial maintenance covenants comprised of a leverage ratio, a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, and capital expenditure limits. The 2006 Credit Agreement also contains
certain covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, restrict paying cash dividends, incurring additional indebtedness, creating liens, making acquisitions or other investments, entering into certain mergers or consolidations and selling or
otherwise disposing of assets. The Company has obtained a number of waivers and amendments to the 2006 Credit Agreement since January 30, 2006 (described below). As of March 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with these covenants, as
so amended. Although there can be no assurances, the Company anticipates that, based on current projections, its operating results for fiscal year 2008 will be sufficient to satisfy the financial covenants, as amended, under the 2006 Credit
Agreement.

The indebtedness under the 2006 Credit Agreement, like the 2003 Credit Agreement, is secured by substantially all of the Companys assets
and the assets of all of its domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Companys obligations are secured by a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of, or other equity interests in, substantially all of its existing or subsequently
acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries and a percentage of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, certain of its subsequently acquired or organized subsidiaries.

Included in the 2006 Credit Agreement is a $60.0 million revolving credit facility and a $450.0 million term loan agreement. Under the 2006 Credit Agreement, the Company has the right to arrange an increase in the
facilities available thereunder by up to $250.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including arranging for one or more lenders to agree to provide such facilities and pro forma compliance with the financial covenants included
therein. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to arrange for any such increase in the future or satisfy such conditions. The Companys future ability to borrow funds under any such increase and the interest rates on those
funds could be dependent on improved performance or adversely impacted by a further decline in the Companys debt ratings and by negative conditions in the debt capital markets.

As of March 31, 2007, under the 2006 Credit Agreement, the Company had $450.0 million of borrowings under the term loan commitments and there was $60.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit commitment.
The 2006 Credit Agreement requires, and the 2003 Credit Agreement required the Company, to pay a commitment fee ranging from 3/8% to 1/2% of the unused portion of the revolving commitment. Commitment fee payments under the 2006 and 2003 Credit
Agreements totaled $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Borrowings under the term loan
commitments included in the 2006 Credit Agreement are payable in varying quarterly installments commencing in fiscal year 2009. The Company is required to make Excess Cash Flow payments (as defined), which will be applied ratably to the then
outstanding term loans. There were no required Excess Cash Flow payments for fiscal year 2007.

The effective interest rate under the 2006 Credit
Agreement, including amounts borrowed under the term loan commitments and revolving credit commitment, as of March 31, 2007, was 8.6% and the effective weighted-average interest rates under the 2006 and 2003 Credit Agreements for fiscal years
2005, 2006 and 2007 were 4.6%, 6.7% and 8.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective weighted-average interest rate is tied to the increase in LIBOR.

As of February 13, 2006, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement with respect to certain provisions of the 2006 Credit Agreement (the February 2006 Waiver). The February 2006 Waiver, among other things,
provided for the waiver (the Restatement Waiver) of certain specified defaults or events of default for specified periods under the 2006 Credit Agreement as a result of the previous restatement of the Companys financial statements
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 (the Restatement) so long as the Restatement did not result in changes in operating income and Consolidated EBITDA
(calculated in accordance with the 2006 Credit Agreement) in excess of certain specified amounts for specified periods. The February 2006 Waiver also provided for (a) an extension of the period for delivery of the Companys financial
statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, until June 28, 2006 (at which point the restated financial

statements for prior periods were also to be delivered), (b) the waiver (the Cross Default Waiver) of any cross default resulting from any
failure by the Company to comply with the indentures governing the Notes by failing to timely file its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission unless the trustee or the noteholders deliver certain notices to the Company with
respect to its failure to comply with its reporting covenants or commence any proceeding with respect to their rights and remedies thereunder, (c) the continued treatment of display rack costs as capital expenditures for purposes of the
2006 Credit Agreement, (d) an increase in the margins applicable to borrowings under the 2006 Credit Agreement during the period that the Restatement was in process, and (e) additional limitations (the Additional Limitations)
affecting the Companys ability to repurchase the Notes, make certain restricted payments and to give consideration to noteholders to waive the failure to comply with the reporting covenant under its indentures, in each case during the
period that the Restatement was in process. The February 2006 Waiver also provided for an increase in margins applicable to borrowings in the event of a downgrade in the ratings by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or Standard &
Poors Ratings Services of the debt under the 2006 Credit Agreement to the extent such downgrade is effective within one month after completion of the Restatement and was expressly attributable to the Restatement. Pursuant to the February 2006
Waiver, the Company paid amendment fees in cash equal to $1.00 per $1,000 of the outstanding and available credit facilities (totaling $510.0 million) under the 2006 Credit Agreement, for an aggregate payment of $0.5 million.

On June 23, 2006, the Company entered into another Amendment and Waiver Agreement with respect to certain provisions of the 2006 Credit Agreement (the June
2006 Waiver). The June 2006 Waiver, among other things, provided for (i) extensions of the Restatement Waiver (with certain changes to the conditions), the Cross Default Waiver and the Additional Limitations, (ii) an extension of the
deadline for delivery of the Companys financial statements for periods through June 30, 2006, (iii) certain amendments and waivers to the financial covenants under the 2006 Credit Agreement, (iv) the approval of the sale of the
assets as described in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and (v) the approval of certain other changes relating to the foregoing items. Pursuant to the June 2006 Waiver, the Company paid amendment fees in cash equal to
$2.50 per $1,000 of the outstanding and available credit facilities (totaling $510.0 million) under the 2006 Credit Agreement, for an aggregate payment of $1.3 million.

On August 18, 2006, the Company entered into another Amendment and Waiver Agreement with respect to certain provisions of the 2006 Credit Agreement (the August 2006 Waiver). The August 2006 Waiver,
among other things, provided for (i) extensions of the Restatement Waiver, the Cross Default Waiver and the Additional Limitations and (ii) an extension of the deadline for delivery of the Companys financial statements for periods
through September 30, 2006. Pursuant to the August 2006 Waiver, the Company paid amendment fees in cash equal to $1.25 per $1,000 of the outstanding and available credit facilities (totaling $510.0 million) under the 2006 Credit Agreement, for
an aggregate payment of $0.6 million.

On October 26, 2006, the Company entered into another Amendment and Waiver Agreement with respect to certain
provisions of the 2006 Credit Agreement (the October 2006 Waiver). The October 2006 Waiver, among other things, provided for (i) extensions of the Restatement Waiver, the Cross Default Waiver and the Additional Limitations,
(ii) an extension of the deadline for delivery of the Companys financial statements for periods through December 31, 2006 and (iii) certain amendments and waivers to the financial covenants under the 2006 Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the October 2006 Waiver, the Company paid amendment fees in cash equal to $2.50 per $1,000 of the outstanding and available credit facilities (totaling $510.0 million) under the 2006 Credit Agreement, for an aggregate payment of $1.3
million. Under the October 2006 Waiver, the period for extension of the deadlines for delivery of the Companys financial statements was contingent on obtaining similar extensions from the holders of the 2009 Notes and 2011 Notes (the Company
subsequently obtained such extensions but was required to pay additional fees under the October 2006 Waiver equal to $1.25 per $1,000 of the outstanding and available credit facilities because the Company paid similar fees to the holders of the 2009
Notes and 2011 Notes to obtain such extensions).

On February 9, 2007, the Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement with respect to
certain provisions of the 2006 Credit Agreement (the February 2007 Waiver). The February 2007 Waiver provided, among other things, for an extension of the existing waiver of certain specified defaults or events of default for specified
periods under the 2006 Credit Agreement as a result of the Restatement, so long as the Restatement did not result in changes in operating income and Consolidated EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the 2006 Credit Agreement) in excess of certain
specified amounts for specified periods as amended pursuant to the February 2007 Waiver. The February 2007 Waiver also provided, among other things for (a) the extension for delivery of the Companys financial statements for (i) the
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005 to March 15, 2007, (ii) the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to March 15, 2007, (iii) the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 to April 15, 2007, (iv) the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2006 to April 15, 2007 and (v) the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 to April 15, 2007 (failure to satisfy the foregoing delivery deadlines would not become an Event of
Default under the 2006 Credit Agreement unless such failure continued unremedied for 30 days after the Company receives notice of such failure from the administrative agent), (b) the continuing waiver of any cross default resulting from
any failure by the Company to comply with the indentures governing the Notes by failing to timely file its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), unless the trustee or the noteholders (i) deliver certain
notices to the Company as a result of the Companys failure to comply with its reporting covenants or (ii) commence any proceeding with respect to their rights and remedies thereunder, (c) an increase in the margins applicable to
borrowings under the 2006 Credit

Agreement, (d) certain additional reporting requirements for a limited period, (e) certain amendments and waivers to the financial covenants under
the 2006 Credit Agreement, (f) the issuance of additional notes to the holders of the Notes under certain circumstances, (g) the continuation of limitations affecting the Companys ability to (i) repurchase the Notes,
(ii) make certain restricted payments and (iii) give consideration to noteholders to waive the failure to comply with the reporting covenant under its indentures, in each case during the period that the Restatement was in process, and
(h) a further increase in margins applicable to borrowings in the event of a specified downgrade in the ratings by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poors Ratings Services of the debt under the 2006 Credit
Agreement or in the event certain payments are made to the holders of the Notes. Pursuant to the February 2007 Waiver, the Company paid an amendment fee in cash to lenders who approved the February 2007 Waiver equal to $1.25 per $1,000 in principal
amount of the outstanding and available credit facilities of such lenders resulting in an aggregate payment of $0.5 million.

On April 16, 2007, the
Company entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement with respect to certain provisions of the 2006 Credit Agreement (the April 2007 Waiver). The April 2007 Waiver provided, among other things, for extensions of the applicable
deadlines for delivery of the Companys financial statements for the following periods: (i) for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 to May 15, 2007, which were filed on May 8, 2007, (ii) for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2006 to the earlier of (A) the date that is 30 days following delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 and (B) June 15, 2007, which were filed on May 24, 2007,
(iii) for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 to the earlier of (A) the date that is 30 days following delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 and (B) July 15, 2007,
which were filed on July 3, 2007, (iv) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 to August 31, 2007 and (v) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2007 to the earlier of (A) the date that is 30 days following
delivery of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and (B) September 30, 2007. The April 2007 Waiver also amended a provision of the 2006 Credit Agreement which restricts the giving of any consideration to
or for the benefit of any holder of Notes for any amendment, modification or waiver relating to a financial reporting violation, among other things, to reduce the requirement that the Company maintain a minimum amount of liquidity such that the
provision now requires that the Companys cash and cash equivalents and unused availability under the 2006 Credit Agreement are at least $25.0 million. Pursuant to the April 2007 Waiver, the Company paid an amendment fee in cash to lenders who
approved the April 2007 Waiver equal to $0.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of the outstanding and available credit facilities of such lenders resulting in an aggregate payment of $0.3 million.

Payments of principal in the amount of $510.0 million under the 2006 Credit Agreement are due in fiscal year 2009 (excluding any amounts that may be borrowed under the
credit commitment or required to be prepaid under the Excess Cash Flow provision).

(7) Senior Subordinated Indebtedness

On May 7, 1999, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior subordinated notes due May 2009. These notes are unsecured and
subordinated in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness. These notes rank equally with all of the Companys existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. These notes are guaranteed on a

The senior subordinated notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, by all of its domestic
subsidiaries. Each domestic subsidiary that will be organized in the future by the Company, unless such subsidiary is designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, will jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior subordinated
notes on a senior subordinated basis. Subordinated note guarantees are joint and several, full and unconditional and general unsecured obligations of the note guarantors. The note guarantors are comprised of all of the Companys domestic
subsidiaries. Subordinated note guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the note guarantors, including the 2006 Credit Agreement, and are also effectively subordinated to all secured obligations of
note guarantors to the extent of the assets securing such obligations, including the 2006 Credit Agreement. Furthermore, the subordinated notes indentures permit note guarantors to incur additional indebtedness, including senior debt, subject to
certain limitations. See Note 18, Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information.

On March 17, 2006, the Company entered into
(i) a Waiver and Consent Agreement with certain holders of its 2009 Notes, who collectively held a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 2009 Notes, and (ii) a Waiver and Consent Agreement with certain holders of its 2011
Notes, who collectively held a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 2011 Notes (collectively, the March 2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements). Pursuant to the March 2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements, the
holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of Notes waived defaults related to the Companys failure to comply with its reporting requirements under the indentures pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the
Indentures) resulting from its announced intention to file the Restatement. The March 2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements also required the Company to make a cash payment to each holder of Notes of $10.00 per $1,000 in principal
amount of Notes held by such holder, for an aggregate payment to all Note holders of $5.5 million. In addition, pursuant to the requirements of the March 2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements, on March 17, 2006, the Company entered into
(i) a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2006, among the Company, the Note Guarantors named therein and HSBC Bank USA, National Association (as successor in interest to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as trustee, relating to
the Indenture governing the 2009 Notes, and (ii) a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2006, among the Company, the Note Guarantors named therein and the trustee, relating to the Indenture governing the 2011 Notes
(collectively, the March 2006 Supplemental Indentures). The principal purpose of the March 2006 Supplemental Indentures was to amend the related Indenture to (i) extend the time by which the Company must file its periodic reports
and (ii) require the Company to meet specified leverage ratios as of September 30, 2007 and 2008.

If the Company fails to meet the specified
leverage ratio of 8:1 as of September 30, 2007, it will be required to make one of three elections which are as follows: 1) issue an additional $20.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the existing holders of the Notes, or 2) issue a
cash payment of $20.0 million to the holders of the Notes, or (3) issue equity or receive a cash equity contribution in such amount as will result in net proceeds to the Company of no less than $40.0 million or in such lesser amount sufficient
to permit the Company to achieve the specified leverage ratio (after giving pro forma effect to the reduction of indebtedness that shall be effected with such proceeds). The Company anticipates that it will not meet the specified leverage test. If
this occurs, the Company expects to issue $20.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the existing holders of the Notes.

If the Company fails to meet
the specified leverage ratio of 7.25:1 as of September 30, 2008, it will be required to make one of three elections which are as follows: 1) issue an additional $35.0 million of senior subordinated notes to the existing holders of the Notes, or
2) issue a cash payment of $20.0 million to the holders of the Notes, or (3) issue equity or receive a cash equity contribution in such amount as will result in net proceeds to the Company of no less than $50.0 million or in such lesser
amount sufficient to permit the Company to achieve the specified leverage ratio (after giving pro forma effect to the reduction of indebtedness that shall be effected with such proceeds).

On June 26, 2006, the Company entered into (i) a Consent Agreement with certain holders of the 2009 Notes, who collectively held a majority of the outstanding
principal amount of the 2009 Notes, and (ii) a Consent Agreement with certain holders of the 2011 Notes, who collectively held a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the 2011 Notes (collectively, the June 2006 Subordinated Debt
Consent Agreements). Pursuant to the June 2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements, the holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of Notes provided their consents to specified amendments to the Indentures. Pursuant to the June
2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements, the Company paid in cash $2.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes to each holder of Notes, for an aggregate payment to all Note holders of $1.4 million. In addition, pursuant to the requirements of the
June 2006 Subordinated Debt Consent Agreements, the Company entered into (i) a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2006, among the Company, the Note Guarantors named therein and the trustee, relating to the Indenture
governing the 2009 Notes, and (ii) a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2006, among the Company, the Note Guarantors named therein and the trustee, relating to the Indenture governing the 2011 Notes (collectively, the

relocation of employees which were included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss and in the Newspaper Publication reporting segment. During fiscal year 2006, the Company paid termination
benefits of $2.2 million and paid $0.2 million of costs associated with relocation of existing employees. The remaining severance benefits were fully paid in fiscal year 2007. The Company has completed this restructuring plan.

On April 4, 2006, the board of directors of the Company committed to a plan (the Plan) to
restructure certain of its operations. The Plan was adopted to improve the Companys profitability and future net cash flows, and includes actions that the Company has taken and intends to take, including: discontinuing the publication of
Celebrity Living Weekly, MPH and Shape En Espanol, the relocation of the operations associated with National Enquirer from New York City back to Boca Raton, Florida, centralizing certain operations, and reducing certain
other operating, general and administrative expenses. The Companys relocation plan involved the termination of approximately 50 employees. This activity resulted in a charge of $2.3 million for termination benefits, $0.1 million for costs
associated with the relocation of employees, $0.6 million for facility closures and $0.9 million for deferred rack cost write-offs. $2.9 million of these charges was included in selling, general and administrative expense and $1.1 million of these
charges was included in loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss for fiscal year 2007. In addition, these restructuring charges were primarily incurred in the Newspaper Publication and Corporate/Other
reporting segments. Through March 31, 2007, the Company has paid termination benefits of $2.3 million, $0.1 million for relocation costs and $0.4 million for costs associated with facility closures. The Company has an accrual at March 31,
2007 of $0.1 million associated with this action which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the payments.

The following table sets
forth the detail and activity in the restructuring expense accrual related to this activity during fiscal year 2007 (in thousands):

On June 14, 2006, the Company announced that it was implementing a strategy to refocus the Company and devote
its full resources to growing its core brands. As part of this strategy, the Company announced that it will explore the sale of its five market leading special interest titles: Muscle & Fitness, Flex, Muscle & Fitness Hers,
Country Weekly, and Mira!. These publications collectively represented total revenues and operating loss of $83.5 million and $38.0 million, respectively, for fiscal year 2007. Operating loss includes a provision for impairment of
intangible assets and goodwill of $67.3 million. As a result of the Restatement and until the Company becomes current with its filings with the SEC, the implementation of this strategy has been delayed.

Evercore Partners LLP (Evercore) and Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P. (T.H. Lee) and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 10.2% and 65.1% of Vertis, Inc. (Vertis),
respectively. Vertis performs significant portions of the Companys Newspaper Publications pre-press operations. Purchases of this service from Vertis totaled $4.8 million, $5.1 million and $3.5 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007,
respectively. At March 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company had payables due to Vertis of $390,000 and $391,000, respectively.

In April 2003, Media, THL
Managers V, LLC, an affiliate of T.H. Lee, and Evercore Advisors L.P., an affiliate of Evercore, entered into a Management Agreement pursuant to which THL Managers V, LLC and Evercore Advisors L.P. provide certain management and advisory services to
Media for an annual fee of $1.0 million each. Management fees of $1.0 million were paid to each of Evercore and T.H. Lee in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, respectively. Pursuant to certain of the supplemental indentures the Company entered into in
fiscal year 2007, such payment will accrue and will not be made beginning in fiscal year 2007 or thereafter until the Company is in compliance with certain of its leverage ratios. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $2.0 million of non-current
accrued expenses and other liabilities as of March 31, 2007. Evercore and T.H. Lee own 21.8% and 59.0%, respectively, of the LLC.

Mr. Olympia, LLC

In April 2005, the Company entered into a limited liability company agreement (the Olympia Agreement) to form a joint
venture (Mr. Olympia, LLC) to manage and promote the Mr. Olympia fitness events. At any time prior to the tenth anniversary of the execution date of the Olympia Agreement the other limited liability company member may require the
Company to purchase all of the limited liability company units (Put Option) for a cash purchase price of $3.0 million. In the event that the other limited liability company member does not exercise the Put Option, for a period of 120
days following the tenth anniversary of the date of execution of the Olympia Agreement, the Company may require the other limited liability company member to sell all of its limited liability company units (Call Option) for a sale price
of $3.0 million.

In April 2005, the other limited liability company member licensed certain trademarks related to the Mr. Olympia fitness events
(collectively, the Olympia Trademarks) to Mr. Olympia, LLC in exchange for the Company paying $3.0 million over a ten year period. In the event that the Put Option or Call Option is exercised, the Olympia Trademarks will be
transferred and owned by Mr. Olympia, LLC. Any remaining balance of the $3.0 million license fee will become due and payable upon such exercise. In the event that the Put Option or Call Option is not exercised, Mr. Olympia, LLC retains the
right to the Olympia Trademarks in perpetuity once the $3.0 million license fee is paid.

The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of
the limited liability company and, consequently, the Company accounts for the limited liability company as a consolidated subsidiary. The Company has recorded the $3.0 million Put/Call Option and the $3.0 million Olympia Trademarks as an indefinite
lived intangible asset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 and 2007. In addition, the Company has recorded $5.1 million of current accrued expenses and other liabilities at March 31, 2007 which represents
the remaining obligation for the Put/Call Option and the license fee associated with the Olympia Trademarks.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Various suits and claims arising
from the publication of the Companys magazines have been instituted against the Company. The Company has insurance policies that likely would be available to recover any reasonably foreseeable material litigation costs and expenses. The
Company periodically evaluates and assesses the risks and uncertainties associated with litigation independent from those associated with the Companys potential claim for recovery from third party insurance carriers. At present, in the opinion
of management, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the liability resulting from litigation, if any, will not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Printing Agreement

The Company has a printing agreement
expiring in fiscal year 2016 with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RR Donnelley) to print National Enquirer, Globe, Shape, Mens Fitness, Fit Pregnancy, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Flex,
Natural Health, National Examiner, Weekly World News, Sun, Mira!andCountry Weekly. Additionally, the Company has printing agreements with Quad/Graphics, Inc. to print Star expiring in fiscal year 2015, Trend Offset Printing, Inc.

(14) Business Segment Information

The Company has aggregated its business into five reporting segments: Celebrity Publications, Newspaper Publications, Womens Health and Fitness Publications, Distribution Services and Corporate/Other. The
aggregation of the Companys business is based upon the Companys publications having the following similarities: economic characteristics including gross margins, types of products and services, types of production processes, type or
class of customer, and method of distribution, as required by SFAS No. 131 Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131).

The Celebrity Publications segment aggregation includes StarandCountry Weekly.

The Newspaper Publications segment aggregation includes National Enquirer, Globe,andNational Examiner.

The
Womens Health and Fitness Publications segment aggregation includes ShapeandFit Pregnancy.

The Distribution Services segment is
comprised of DSI which arranges for the placement of the Companys publications and third-party publications with retailers and monitors through its merchandising staff that these publications are properly displayed in stores, primarily large
supermarkets and major retail chains such as Wal-Mart and Target. DSI coordinates (also known as acting as a category captain) the racking of magazine fixtures for selected retailers. In addition, DSI provides sales of marketing,
merchandising and information gathering services for third parties including non-magazine clients.

The Corporate/Other segment aggregation includes the
following publications: Muscle & Fitness, Mens Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Flex, Natural Health, Weekly World News, Sun,andMira!.In addition, the Corporate/Other segment also includes ancillary
sales and corporate overhead. Ancillary sales primarily relates to licensing, syndication, new media and product merchandise sales. Corporate expenses not allocated to other segments include production and circulation department costs, and support
departments such as information technology, accounting, legal, human resources and administration. While most of the publications aggregated in the Corporate/Other segment have certain similar economic characteristics and also similar products and
services, production process, type or class of customer, and method of distribution as some of the other publications which are aggregated into the other reporting segments (Celebrity Publications, Newspaper Publications and Womens Health and
Fitness Publications), their gross margins are dissimilar with such other publications. Accordingly, the Company has aggregated those publications into the Corporate/Other reporting segment.

The Companys accounting policies are the same for all reportable segments.

Segment Data

The following table presents the results of and assets employed in the Companys five reporting segments for fiscal years
2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The information includes certain intersegment transactions and is, therefore, not necessarily indicative of the results had the operations existed as stand-alone businesses. Intersegment transactions represent
intercompany advertising and other services, which are billed at what management believes are prevailing market rates. These intersegment transactions, which represent transactions between operating units in different business segments, are
eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations exclude the results of our discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, for a discussion regarding discontinued operations.

(16) Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan covering all eligible employees. Subject to certain dollar limits, eligible employees may contribute up to 20% of their pre-tax annual compensation to the plan. The Company may make discretionary
contributions on an annual basis. During fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company made matching contributions of 100% of the first 2% of participating employees eligible contributions. The Companys matching contributions were
approximately $0.5 million in each of fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007.

(17) Capital Stock

The Companys common stock is owned by Media and all of Medias common stock is owned by the LLC. The ownership interests in the LLC are represented by units of
various classes. The units of the LLC are exchangeable for the common stock of Media under certain circumstances and with restrictions. Return of equity investment which is included in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity and
Comprehensive Loss and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows represents payments made to employees or former employees related to the redemption of Class A units in the LLC. These payments were approved by the Companys Board of
Directors.

(18) Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys fiscal year 2006 consolidated financial statements, management determined that the disclosures in the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements
concerning the guarantors to the senior subordinated debt were inappropriate and that the Company should have included supplemental condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with Rule 3-10(f) of Regulation S-X under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). As a result, on August 20, 2007, based upon the recommendations of management, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded that the Companys previously issued
financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2006 should no longer be relied upon, because of this omission. The information for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 disclosed below, which had been previously omitted, has been included.

|Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

Pursuant to Rule
15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2005, the Companys management performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the principal executive officer and principal financial
officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005. It was determined that the material weakness in internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005 related to the fact that we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of financial reporting expertise commensurate with our financial reporting requirements to resolve non-routine or
complex accounting matters. This material weakness continued to exist as of March 31, 2007.

Subsequent to March 31, 2005, the Companys
board of directors and management took steps to remediate the material weakness described above, including the hiring in December 2005 of a new chief financial officer who served from January 2006 to August 2006. That chief financial officer,
as part of his review of the Companys accounting practices, found a number of issues which he brought to the attention of the Companys board of directors and senior management. Consequently, on February 8, 2006, the board of
directors concluded that the Companys previously issued financial statements included or otherwise summarized in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 (including the accompanying report of the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 should no longer be relied upon.

In connection with the then chief financial officers review, and the continued review by a new chief financial officer hired in August 2006, a number of errors
were found in the Companys previously issued financial statements. In addition, the audit committee of the Companys board of directors, aided by an independent law firm and forensic accountants, conducted an inquiry.

Based on further evaluations performed by management with assistance from its consultants, and based on information obtained in connection with the audit
committees inquiry, management identified additional deficiencies related to the internal control system, including deficiencies in the controls related to the Companys monthly financial close and financial reporting processes and
accounting systems. Specifically, the deficiencies resulted from the absence of the following controls: (i) oversight of accounting and financial reporting personnel; (ii) certain key reconciliation controls; (iii) controls
over the appropriate application of generally accepted accounting principles including accounting for income taxes; (iv) review procedures; (v) controls over the ability of financial management to override financial reporting and
accounting systems; (vi) controls over information technology system development, program changes, system access and end-user computing; and (vii) an effective control environment. Management evaluated the impact of the deficiencies
and has concluded that each of the control deficiencies described above represents a material weakness as of March 31, 2007.

Based on the inquiry
commenced by the audit committee and on recommendations made by the audit committee and its advisors, the Companys board of directors and its senior management implemented a number of remedial actions, including the hiring of a new chief
accounting officer, a senior vice president of process improvement, a senior vice president of tax, a vice president of internal audit, a corporate controller and an assistant controller, as well as a new executive vice president of consumer
marketing responsible for subscription circulation data and processes. Other remedial actions are also being implemented.

The Company also has taken steps
to improve its financial close process and financial reporting system including the: (i) preparation and review of key and certain other reconciliations, (ii) development of proper accounting policies and procedures to ensure compliance
with generally accepted accounting principles, (iii) implementation of appropriate review procedures related to the work product provided by members of the accounting department; and (iv) implementation of certain initiatives to improve
our processes and controls around our financial systems. These improvements are not yet sufficiently effective and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have not concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
operating effectively. As of March 31, 2007, therefore, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

On August 20, 2007, the audit
committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded that the Companys previously issued financial statements for fiscal year 2006 and the subsequent three quarters should no longer be relied upon because of the ommission of certain
footnote disclosure. See Note 18 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

In light of the material weaknesses described above, the Company performed additional procedures to ensure that its
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management has concluded that the Companys consolidated financial statements for the periods covered in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K are fairly stated in all material aspects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our goal in compensating executive officers is to attract, retain and motivate key executives of superior ability who are crucial to our future success. We believe that
compensation paid to executive officers should be aligned with our performance, and that compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion of executives compensation opportunities is directly related to achievement of
financial and operational goals and other factors that affect performance.

Our compensation decisions with respect to executive officer salaries and
incentive compensation opportunities are influenced by (a) the executives level of responsibility and function within the Company, (b) the performance and profitability of the Company, and (c) our assessment of the competitive
marketplace. Our philosophy is to focus on total direct compensation opportunities through a mix of base salary, an annual cash incentive payment, and long-term incentives in the form of profit participation units (Class B Units in the LLC, our
ultimate parent).

Overview of Executive Compensation Components

The Companys executive compensation program consists of the following elements:

The use of these programs enables us to reinforce our pay for performance philosophy, as well as strengthen our ability
to attract and retain highly qualified executives. We believe that this combination of programs provides an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay, balances short-term operational performance with long-term value, and encourages executive
recruitment and retention.

Determination of Appropriate Pay Levels

Pay Philosophy and Competitive Standing

In general, we seek to provide competitive pay by targeting the total
compensation paid by our peers in the industry, taking into account total compensation, including annual salaries, bonuses, target annual incentive payments and long-term incentives. For the annual cash compensation component, we generally provide
base salaries at market and incentive payment opportunities at market if targets are reached. Typically, targeted annual cash incentive pay opportunities are based on individual job performance and annual earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and may fluctuate from year-to-year. For the long-term incentive component, we provide Class B Units of the LLC, which provide an interest in Medias profits upon a change in control or other
liquidation event.

Our peers in the industry include mid-size to large consumer publishing companies in the United States. We review public data to ensure
that the Companys compensation packages for comparable positions are at market.

2007 Base Salary

Our base salary levels reflect a combination of factors, including pay levels at our competitors, as discussed above, the executives experience and tenure, our
annual budget for merit increases, the executives individual performance and changes in responsibility. We review salary levels at the end of the term of each executives employment agreement to recognize these factors. We do not target
base salary at any particular percent of total compensation. In fiscal year 2007, only Ms. Fullers employment agreement was due to expire. Owing to the financial performance of the Company, Ms. Fullers annual salary remained
the same for the term of her renewed agreement.

2007 Annual Bonuses and Incentive Payments

Mr. Pecker is eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus, subject to consideration of Company performance, as determined by the Executive Committee of the LLC.
The other executive officers receive annual cash incentive payments. Incentive payments provide our executive officers with an opportunity to earn annual cash payments based on certain pre-established performance goals. As in setting base salaries,
we consider a combination of factors in establishing the annual target incentive payment opportunities for our named executive officers, including circulation results, EBITDA and individual performance. Incentive pay is intended to reward excellent
performance; therefore, attainment of the performance goals is substantially uncertain at the time the goals are established We do not target annual incentive payment opportunities at any particular percentage of total compensation.

When bonuses and target annual incentive payments are combined with base salary, the annual cash compensation of our
executive officers is comparable with our peers in the industry if we achieve the financial results targeted for the year. However, certain of our executive officers may earn additional compensation if financial results are greater than budgeted.
Ms. Fullers annual incentive payment is based on circulation targets. The Compensation Committee may elect to pay discretionary bonuses if targets are not achieved.

The Executive Committee, in its discretion, did not grant a bonus to Mr. Pecker for fiscal year 2007, owing to the Companys financial performance. (The Executive Committee also did not grant Mr. Pecker
a discretionary bonus in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004.) The Compensation Committee granted a cash incentive payment of $500,000 to Ms. Fuller based on the minimum payment set forth in her employment agreement and achievement of certain
circulation targets for fiscal year 2007, and a cash incentive payment of $300,000 to Mr. Miller for fiscal year 2007, based on the minimum payment set forth in his employment agreement. In addition, for fiscal year 2007, the Compensation
Committee granted a discretionary bonus of $200,000 to Mr. Craven, a one-time cash bonus to Mr. Craven of $200,000 upon the filing of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 pursuant to
a prior agreement with the Company, and a one-time cash bonus of $52,083 to Mr. Abaunza pursuant to his severance agreement. Mr. Kahane did not receive an incentive bonus for fiscal year 2007 because the Company did not meet its EBITDA
threshold.

which shows the threshold, target and maximum incentive pay amounts payable under each named executive officers plan for fiscal year 2007.

2007 Profit Participation Unit Grants

Upon entering into an employment agreement with the Company, each executive officer receives
Class B Units in the LLC. Holders of Class B Units are eligible to share in the profits of the LLC, pro rata, after all holders of Class A Units have received the return of their aggregate investment in such classes of units. The Class B Units
granted to executive officers vest over five years, at the rate of 20% on each anniversary of the executive officers date of hire.

In fiscal year
2007, we granted 225 Class B Units to Mr. Craven upon execution of his employment agreement. We granted 450 Class B Units to Ms. Fuller upon execution of the renewal amendment to her employment agreement in April 2006.

Factors Considered in Decisions to Increase or Decrease
Compensation Materially

Market data, individual performance, retention, and internal pay equity have been the primary factors considered in decision to
adjust compensation materially. We do not apportion any particular percentage of an executives total compensation to base salary, annual incentive pay or long-term incentive compensation. We tend to follow market practice in allocating the
various forms of compensation.

Timing of Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee sets targets at the beginning of each fiscal year. Bonuses and annual incentive awards are typically paid 90 days after the close of the Companys fiscal year. Base salary increases are
typically reviewed when an executive officers employment agreement is due to expire and requires renewal.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Compensation

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with input from our Senior Vice President  Human Resources, recommends to the Compensation Committee base salary, target
annual incentive pay levels, actual annual incentive payments and long-term incentive grants for our senior officer group (other than himself). Mr. Pecker makes these recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on qualitative judgments
regarding individual performance. Mr. Pecker is not involved with any aspect of determining his own compensation.

including equity-based compensation; (iii) outplacement services for 12 months; (iv) discretionary annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, as determined by Media based on the achievement of certain performance

termination is considered an excess parachute payment subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, sufficient to make him whole
after the payment of such tax, up to a maximum of $4,800,000. Assuming a termination date of March 31, 2007, Mr. Pecker would receive $1,562,500 in base salary, $8,919 in health, life insurance and disability benefits and $60,000 in
outplacement services.

Upon termination of employment because of disability or death, Mr. Pecker is to receive base salary through the
date of termination and any earned but unpaid discretionary annual bonus. Upon termination of employment for cause or resignation without good reason, Mr. Pecker is to receive base salary through the date of termination.

If Mr. Pecker elects not to extend the term of his employment, he is to receive base salary through April 17, 2008. If Media elects not to
extend the term of Mr. Peckers employment, he is to receive base salary through April 17, 2008, a one-time payment of 50% of any discretionary bonus paid to Mr. Pecker for the year preceding termination, and, subject to his
compliance with certain non-compete and non-solicitation provisions, continued payment of base salary for 6 months follow the date of termination.

Mr. Peckers agreement defines disability as physical or mental incapacity such that he is unable for a period of 180 consecutive days or for an aggregate of 270 days in any 720-consecutive-day period to perform his
duties. Cause is defined to include the conviction of or a guilty or nolo contendere plea to any felony materially adversely affecting Media, willful or gross misconduct intended to materially adversely affect Media; or willful
refusal or willful failure to substantially perform his duties for reasons other than illness. Good reason is defined to include the assignment of duties materially inconsistent with the executives position, any reduction in base
salary or employee benefits, geographic relocation, Medias failure to have the agreement assumed by its successor, and certain other grounds specified in the agreement.

Upon a liquidity event, as that term is defined in the Subscription Agreement, the holders of Class A Units will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the payments by the parties to such agreement
as of April 17, 2003, plus deemed interest, and the holders of vested B Units will be entitled to require Media to repurchase their vested units at a value based upon the theoretical amount of cash that would be distributable to unit holders
were all of the assets of the LLC and its affiliates to be sold as of the date of the liquidity event, less the payments due to the holders of Class A Units. Class A and B Units are not traded publicly. Based on a valuation of $500 per
Class A Unit and $0.01 per Class B Unit, Mr. Pecker would receive approximately $12,540,500 for his Class A Units and $475 for his Class B Units, assuming a liquidity event on March 31, 2007.

Mr. Craven. Upon termination of employment by the Company, Mr. Craven is to receive: (i) any annual incentive payment earned but unpaid as of the
date of termination for any previously completed fiscal year; (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses; (iii) unsubsidized health and welfare benefits and perquisites as provided under the terms of the applicable plans;
and (iv) if the termination is not for cause, severance pay in an amount equal to 12 months base salary, payable in 12 monthly installments, subject to compliance with a non-compete provision. Assuming a termination date of
March 31, 2007, Mr. Craven would receive $400,000 in base salary.

If Mr. Craven becomes physically or mentally incapacitated for a
continuous period of 90 days, or if he terminates employment voluntarily, his employment term expires or he is terminated for cause, the Company has the right not to pay severance upon the termination of employment.

Mr. Cravens agreement defines cause to include the continued failure or refusal substantially to perform his duties, dishonesty in the performance
of his duties, any act on his part constituting a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or a felony, willful malfeasance or willful misconduct or any act or omission that is severely materially injurious to the financial condition or business
reputation of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, or breach of any provision of his agreement.

Ms. Fuller. Upon termination of
employment by the Company or by Ms. Fuller, Ms. Fuller is to receive: (i) any annual incentive payment earned but unpaid from a prior fiscal year and a prorated portion of the current fiscal year incentive payment up to the date of
termination; (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses; (iii) health insurance through the term of the agreement; and (iv) if the termination is for any reason other than for cause or voluntary resignation
without good reason, severance pay in an amount equal to the remaining base salary and any pro rata minimum incentive payments due through March 31, 2009, as well as any residual incentive payments due, if any, payable in equal
monthly installments, subject to compliance with certain non-compete provisions. Assuming a termination date of March 31, 2007, Ms. Fuller would receive $33,216 in reimbursements for continuation health insurance coverage premiums, and
$4,000,000 in severance pay.

Ms. Fullers agreement defines cause to include the conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to, any felony materially adversely affecting the Company; willful or gross misconduct intended to materially adversely affect the Company; or willful refusal to substantially perform her duties for reasons other than illness.
Good reason includes a material reduction in Ms. Fullers annual base salary or annual incentive pay opportunity, a substantial diminution in her duties or responsibilities as set forth in her employment agreement, or
geographic relocation of more than 50 miles without her consent.

Unless otherwise indicated, beneficial owners listed above may be contacted at the Companys corporate address at
1000 American Media Way, Boca Raton, FL 33464. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such
security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be the beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial
ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which that person has no beneficial interest.



|Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of the Recapitalization, Evercore, T.H. Lee and the other investors and Media, entered into the LLC Agreement. Interests in the LLC are represented by units of two classes. Evercore, T.H. Lee and the other
investors, including Mr. Pecker and certain other members of management, own Class A Units. Class A Units are the only units with voting power. The other class of units, Class B Units, is owned by Mr. Pecker and certain other
members of management. Holders of Class B Units are eligible to share in the profits of the LLC, pro rata, only after all the holders of the Class A Units have received the return of their aggregate investment in such classes of units.

The units of the LLC are exchangeable for the common stock of Media under certain circumstances, including pursuant to demand and piggyback registration
rights granted to Evercore, T.H. Lee and certain other investors, including Mr. Pecker, under the LLC Agreement. The LLC Agreement grants each investor certain demand registration rights with respect to common stock of Media, the exercise of
which, in general, is controlled by Evercore and T.H. Lee and grants unlimited piggyback registration rights.

In general, the investors, including
Mr. Pecker, may not transfer their interests in the LLC without the consent of Evercore and T.H. Lee after the exchange of units of the LLC into common stock of Media. Above a certain ownership percentage, if Evercore transfers its common stock
of Media, all the other investors are required to transfer a pro rata number of securities on the same terms as the Evercore transfer.

The board of
managers of the LLC consists of (i) four designees of Evercore, (ii) four designees of T.H. Lee, one of whom is subject to Evercores prior approval, and (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who is subject to the
approval of Evercore and T.H. Lee. While Evercore and T.H. Lee jointly control the LLC, the LLC Agreement requires that certain significant actions of the LLC be approved by Mr. Pecker and a majority of the other co-investors.

In addition, in connection with the Recapitalization, Mr. Pecker and the Company entered into a new employment agreement, which governs the terms of
Mr. Peckers employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term of five years. See Item 11, Executive Compensation for a description of Mr. Peckers employment agreement. Also in connection with the
Recapitalization, the LLC, the Company, THL Managers V, an affiliate of Evercore, and Evercore Advisors L.P., an affiliate of Evercore, entered into a Management Agreement pursuant to which THL Managers V, LLC and Evercore Advisors L.P. provide
certain management and advisory services to the Company. Each receives $1.0 million annually for these management services. Pursuant to certain of the supplemental indentures the Company entered into in fiscal year 2007, such payment will accrue but
will not be made in fiscal year 2007 or thereafter until the Company is in compliance with certain of its leverage ratios.

On January 23, 2003, the
Company and the LLC (the Buyers) acquired Weider Publications LLC (the Acquisition), a newly formed company to which the magazine business of Weider Publications, Inc. and Weider Interactive Networks, Inc. were contributed
from Weider Health and Fitness, Weider Health and Fitness LLC and Weider Interactive Networks, Inc. (the Sellers). The aggregate purchase price was $357.3 million, which included a post-closing working capital adjustment of $7.3 million.

Weider Health and Fitness contributed its publications and related assets into a newly formed limited liability company, Weider Publications LLC, which
contained all assets relating to the acquired business, including the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries. This was accomplished pursuant to an asset contribution agreement, which provided that subsidiaries of Weider Health and Fitness retain
liability for pre-closing taxes, specified employee benefit matters and debt for borrowed money related to the acquired business. At the closing, the Sellers retained limited liability company units of Weider Publications LLC were exchanged
for limited liability company units of the LLC, Medias parent entity.

Under the purchase agreement, Weider Health and Fitness and its selling
subsidiaries, subject to caps and deductibles, indemnified the buyers for losses arising from the failure of any representation or warranty made by Weider Health and Fitness and its selling subsidiaries to be true or the failure of any of those
entities to perform their obligations under the purchase agreement and the related

documents. Weider Health and Fitness and its selling subsidiaries also indemnified the buyers for specified excluded liabilities of the acquired business,
including pre-closing taxes. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the buyers indemnified Weider Health and Fitness and its selling subsidiaries for losses arising from liabilities that the acquired business retains, the failure of any representation
or warranty made by us to be true or our failure to perform our obligations under the purchase agreement and the related documents.

In general, the
representations and warranties in the purchase agreement survived closing and expired 18 months after the closing date. The representations and warranties relating to organization and authority, capitalization, tax matters, employee benefits and
brokers fees survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Weider Health and Fitness, Joe Weider, Ben Weider and Eric
Weider agreed in the purchase agreement not to invest, own, manage, finance, control or otherwise have a material direct or indirect interest in any business involved in publishing of healthy living or fitness-related publications in any and all
media, without the Buyers express written approval, subject to specified limitations. The non-competition agreement remains in effect for 7 years from closing with respect to Joe Weider and for 5 years from closing with respect to Ben Weider,
Eric Weider and Weider Health and Fitness.

As part of the Acquisition, Weider Publications LLC entered into an advertising agreement with Weider Health
and Fitness and Weider Nutrition International, Inc. that provides these entities with certain limited access to advertising in the acquired publications at agreed upon rates for the six years following closing.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Buyers entered into an athlete endorsement agreement with the Sellers pursuant to which the Sellers provided the Buyers with
continued access to a group of approximately 24 athletes (excluding Joe Weider), or substantially the same number of athletes of substantially the same quality as those listed in the agreement, for promotional purposes in connection with the
acquired business for a period of 24 months from the acquisition date. The Buyers paid the Sellers $600,000 per year in exchange for this arrangement.

As
part of the Acquisition, the Buyers entered into a trademark license agreement with the Sellers pursuant to which the Sellers will retain ownership and pay the costs for maintaining the Weider, Team Weider and Joe Weider trademarks in the U.S.,
Mexico and Canada and will grant the Buyers the exclusive right to use these trademarks on the cover and in the editorial content of existing Weider titles of the acquired business and in any future healthy living or fitness-related publications in
any media. The Buyers were also given the non-exclusive right to use the trade name Joe Weideron products and services other than publications. The Buyers pay the Sellers $200,000 per year pursuant to the trademark license agreement. The
Buyers have the rights to use the Weider, Team Weider and Joe Weider trademarks in most other foreign countries in the world.

Vertis, Inc.
(Vertis) performs significant portions of the Companys Newspaper Publications pre-press operations. Evercore owns approximately 10.2% of Vertis and T.H. Lee owns approximately 65.1% of Vertis. Payments to Vertis for these services
totaled $4.8 million, $5.1 million, and $3.5 million for fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company had payables due to Vertis of $390,000 and $391,000, respectively.

The Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company requires the Audit Committee to review and approve all proposed transactions or dealings with
related persons, and to discuss such transactions and their appropriate disclosure in our financial statements with management and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The transactions described above were approved by
the Companys Board of Directors prior to the adoption of the amendment to the Audit Committee Charter adopting this policy.

The Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Media whose equity securities are not publicly traded. Accordingly, the Company is not required to comply with the independence standards of any national securities exchange as to its Board of Directors. However, if we applied
the definition of independent director under NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, Michael Garin and Jeff Sagansky would be deemed independent. Messrs. Bressler and Ross serve on the Audit Committee and would not be considered independent under
NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Messrs. Pecker, DiNovi and Ross serve on the Compensation Committee and would not be considered independent under NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.
